Its not a lanyard, they are Bugle cords.

Drummer Buglers were, I think still are, called Drummers in the army and buglers in the Royal Marines. |

James,
The appointment of Bugler in the British Army goes back into history and in the 1880's they were recognised with their own badge of appointment, a bugle worn on the right upper arm. Mostly used in Light Infantry and Rifle Regiments but also in other Line Infantry Regiments too. Similar appointments and badges exist for Drummer, Trumpeter and Piper. regards
