The sons of married soldiers serving in the regiment were often trained as trumpeters and musicians. This photo shows details of the uniform such as the yellow cord aiguillettes, although how they are attached to the shoulder is not quite clear. He has a double-headed eagle badge on his collar and 1 DG sewn onto his shoulder strap. Both strap and collar, as well as his cuff, are of blue velvet, edged with yellow piping. The yellow cord Austrian knot on his cuff can just be seen above his gauntlet. He would have a yellow embroidered crossed trumpet badge on his upper right arm.
The white pouch-belt was only worn by trumpeters and musicians after 1902, and the white leather pouch on his back contained sheet music. His white leather waist-belt has sword slings which were probably not used as his height would have made it difficult to attach the sword normally kept on the saddle. Interestingly there is a hook hanging from the belt which, prior to 1885, was used to hook up the sword when dismounted to prevent it trailing along the ground. In 1885 the method of carrying a sword was changed so that the long slings were shortened and attached to fixed rings.
