Thanks John,
I ended up been able to track some of it down, strangely in your books. (I knew
that in the figures in the original book you had the 11th. I hadn't realized
that in the alternate Maipo in the supplement you did show drummers for the 7th
and 8th.) Even for Napoleonic Europe, which is much better documented it's hard
to pin down drummers.
Much appreciated,
Phil

more than one unit with the same regimental number:

11th and the green for 1813 for the 6th in the Liberators book, were these
standard for their period (ie all regiments similar) or peculiar to their
regiments? If peculiar to their regiments, what might have been the norm?
