We can see from the image that it was indeed worn centrally, Frank, but I’ve no idea how it was secured. We will need an elderly guardsman with a good memory to advise.

Leigh's post number 22. He posted an image showing the use of valise stars on greatcoat and cape.

Okay, yes, sorry I missed that, so the left image is the cape only, thank you.
