In this week's poser, taken form Lieutenant General Drummond's Regiment of Horse in 1667 (National Records of Scotland, E100/2 page 3), we asked you who the troop's cornet was and what the occupations of the last three men listed were.
Answer: James Lumsden of Muntquhannie (line 2) was the troop's cornet. John Peter was a farrier while Alexander Watt and Francis Bursie were trumpet players (lines 6-8).
