In battle and other times the Regimental Colours were usually held by a junior subaltern. In battle, standard bearers were often prime targets for enemy snipers and riflemen and suffered accordingly. Here, a lowly corporal holds the Regimental standard after the young officer was killed... He is also seen firing one of the officers pistols.
