In general, trumpeters wore the reverse colors of their regiment. For example, a trumpeter of the 28th Dragoon Regiment would wear an orange coat with cuffs, cuff-flaps, and collar in dark green piped orange. However, trumpeter uniforms varied widely at any one time. Trumpeters typically rode white or gray horses. |
