Hello fellow Planeteers,
I'm aware this might sound like a rather silly question, but I'm having a go at some vignettes involving British drummer boys both in the AWI 1775 and at Quatre Bras 1815 and whereas the regimental devices painted on the front of the drum are well documented, I have no idea what the actual drums were made of and if and what colour they were painted. Any info would be very welcome.
And yes, my own ignorance in this matter baffles me
Pierre
