With regard to puggaree flashes during the Victorian era, my understanding is that there was no Army dress regulation as to size and/or position that they should be when worn on the FSH.
a) Is this correct?
b) Were dress regulations relating to size of flash and position on the FSH subsequently issued in later times?
In terms of flash dimensions, the photos below (post-Victorian) show two differently sized flashes to the Cheshire Regiment (1st Bn., I believe). The flash on the Wolseley is somewhat larger than that on the khaki solar pith helmet. Why might this be?
