Thank you Glen.
That's a very good question, it never occurred to me either. I've just had a brief look through my references and all show the flag being carried without the aid of a belt/bandoleer or whatever they're called.
There is an interesting article on French infantry colours of the period here, http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=French_Line_Infantry_Colours

Very nice. Great face!

Did the flag bearers of the era just hold the flag in their hands, or did they have some kind of sling? It never occurred to me before, so I thought I'd ask...

Cheers,

Glen
