Each unit entitled to wear one is assigned a different colour.
Red, red over white, blue, primrose, white.. the list goes on
"nemo me impune lasset" (don't check the spelling) pretty much means 'touche me not with impunity" in Glasgow that would express as "try it and I'll do ya.

Hello Master Fitton,
Thanks a lot for solving this mystery for me. I was surprized about the feathers as it sure looked like some kind of flower from the many unclear images I looked at online. I'll let Greg know. He'll enjoy knowing these bits.
