Company officers wore wings. In February 1810, an order was issued by the War Office to distinguish Field officer ranks. The following devices were introduced in the epaulettes: Colonel: Crown and Garter star Lieutenant Colonel: Crown Major: Garter star These badges were issued for all infantry regiments except the Foot Guards.
