do you mean "REGIMENTAL" flash?

see the attached thread

http://britishbadgeforum.com/forums/...n+guards+flash

if this is the flash you mean then yes it was worn by the 4th /7th Royal Dragoon Guards. In Dress Distinctions of the 4th /7th Royal Dragoon Guards Cox notes "The regimental flash was worn by all ranks in battle dress upon the left sleeve below the formation sign"... " Up until recently (the book was published in 1961) the flash was machine made in silken thread but is now machine made of worsted thread."

Something is in the back of my head which says the White Horse of Hanover was the distinction for Dettigen.
