Re: Why White Busby?
Great question. I watched the Remembrance Service this morning and wondered the same thing. I only saw views from behind and none from the front, so I couldn't even work out what the drummer was wearing at all.
A front view and explanation from the narrator would have helped in my opinion.
Thanks for the video link giving the answer.
Red for the blood that was spilled.
Black for the mourning of those left behind.
Green for the new growth on the fields of battle.
The leaf at eleven o'clock, symbolising the time when the guns fell silent.
