The King Edward's Horse bandsman's tunic was of khaki cloth with scarlet mohair lace to the collar and cuffs as per the Full Dress tunic of the Officer's and Other Ranks (Figures 130-131). A distinctive feature of the bandsman's tunic was the broad scarlet shoulder cords with the left adorned with a scarlet aiguillette, terminating with metal tangs (these can be seen in the photograph of the band taken in 1913-14 depicted in Figure 132). A pair of King Edward's Horse Regimental collar badges and King Edward's Horse brass buttons are shown on the tunic. The trousers bore a double vertical scarlet stripe. The cap (Figure 131) bears the additional scarlet line to the crown that set it apart from the regular King Edward's Horse service cap as was the case with the King's Colonials Service Dress cap. The badge worn in the cap was the Saxon Crown first pattern KEH headdress badge.
The photograph of the KEH band depicted in Figure 132 shows them wearing the first pattern KEH headdress badge. It clearly shows the distinctive shoulder cords and scarlet aiguillettes of the bandsman's tunics. A number of the bandsman are wearing girdles which were introduced in 1913 which helps date this particular photograph. The bandmaster shown is Quarter Master Serjeant Major Frederic Willet Skepelhorn (see Nominal Roll).
