Officer's Jacket, 1819 - 1829 (Rear)


The tails are decorated with silver lace chevrons like the sleeves. The turn-backs are of blue velvet edged with silver lace and have a star badge with 4DG in the middle. The back of the jacket is plain scarlet but this would have the decorative pouchbelt on it. The rear of the collar is not covered in silver lace like the front.
