Snitch

Ratonhnhaké:ton passing by a Snitch

Snitches were soldiers who served as drummers, seen in both the British and Continental armies during the American Revolutionary War.

Appearance

Snitches of both armies were mostly identically dressed, Continental variants wearing a yellow uniform and hat, as opposed to the blue uniform of their side. The British variant wore a more red color scheme to fit their side. They constantly played a drum while marching with their allies.

Combat

They were usually accompanied by five or more soldiers, but snitches could occasionally be seen marching with a single officer. When the unit was attacked, they generally ran from the battlefield to call for reinforcements.
