Twelve stripes, stretching from shoulder to shoulder at the top and narrowing to half that at the waist, surrounded the twelve great brass 'acorn' buttons stamped with the Royal Artillery crest of crossed cannons capped by the Celestial Tiara. Her shoulders and cuffs were similarly trimmed with elaborate and artistic braiding. As Guard uniforms went, those of the Royal Artillery were pretty stand-out, even for a specialist such as herself.
