    Just so you know, this fine soldier(doesn't he look young!) is a Sergeant Major, although I suspect looking at his staff he is probably the
    Drum Major, and in shirt sleeve order they wear a leather wristband, as per your picture, with a crown on it. A Sergeant Major with their full uniform, will have a crown sewn onto the lower sleeve. In the days of that picture, Officers would wear their rank insignia on the shoulders, even in shirt sleeve order.
