Drake Battalion Petty Officer

[Shiny]

H All,

I've decided to have an attempt at colouring a photo, only the second time I've tried so it isn't brilliant but I'm wondering about the naval badge on his left arm.

Is red the right colour and if so how bright would it be? I'm also wondering about the tombstone it's on. At the moment I've just ignored it, would it be black / dark blue like I've seen re-enactors on the web wearing or some other colour?

Thanks for the help,

Michael
