| "The figure on foot in the right foreground shows a sergeant of light artillery in the all blue uniform trimmed with yellow prescribed in January 1812, when the light artillery became the first corp of the Army to do away with colored facings. The rank is recognizable by the two yellow silk epaulettes and red sash. The sergeant wears a yeoman crowned shako — a shako wider at the top than at the bottom — with yellow cords, a yellow plate, and a red and white plume peculiar to the light artillery at this time." "The horseman in the foreground is an infantry surgeon in the uniform adopted in January 1812. He is recognizable by the silver embroidered collar on his plain blue coat, the lack of epaulettes, and the black ostrich feather in his black bordered hat." |
