Wings - but not as you know them

[dumdum]

German troops (WW1 & 2?) also used these on their band uniforms.

I won't attempt to write the German for them but if does indeed translate as "swallow's nests".

The King's Crown red and white version is made up in "Drummers' Lace" and as said is still in use today by many corps of drums who are not members of the band but exist as a platoon in an infantry battalion with a main function in Support or HQ Company.

Simon.

In the nineteenth century, they were worn on BOTH shoulders. In the Napoleonic period, line, Light and Grenadier companies each wore a distinct form or colour of shoulder ornament and the members of the Corps of Drums wore these lovely things, or something like them.
