Littlehand good to see you posting these clips of History again. This is an excellent film. Am I right in saying the original wreath given by Queen Victoria would have been with the colours on this day.

Hi old historian2

Now that is a good question, looking at the below stills, it is hard to say. A few with medals on display.

Knowing our luck, he wouldn't be in the preview footage. But I bet he's in the full version. Who knows the camera may even had zoomed in on him as he was at RD. On the same day the colours were lost.

So who's going to spend £50.00 to see if SD is correct. Shocked
