Muerrisch Posted 14 December , 2010 Share Posted 14 December , 2010 Deatail of a postcard, might show Holy Grail, a CG worsted title. I can show whole card if demand exists. It portrays an over-supervised group issuing food or drink. We have a general in blue patrol, so probably not Active Service, probably Home. The total picture shrieks 1914 1918 to me, neither earlier or later. There is one white cap band present. There is a sergeant, a CSgt, several other NCOs and the sergeant major, clearly Guards with the Large Badge. Soldiers are NOT GG ..... no grenade with chevrons Titles are light on dark [white on scarlet], with a lot of letters, so not SG IG or WG No gilding metal badges on straps. I venture to suggest CG, at Home, 1914 1918. Will post whole card later on for comment please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john gregory Posted 14 December , 2010 Share Posted 14 December , 2010 I put this on the other day but it was'nt very good so have placed a better image on. Civil Service Rifles flash, any one seen a title like this one before ? plus it looks like the leather buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyneside Chinaman Posted 14 December , 2010 Share Posted 14 December , 2010 Hi Two Officers of a London Rifle Battalion. I cant make my mind up if they are 1/9th QVR or 1/16th QWR. The Officer on the left has a three lettered metal title on the shoulder above the battle patch but it didn't scan very well at all. The chap on the right has a cloth title above the battel patch. on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 14 December , 2010 Share Posted 14 December , 2010 another detail Undoubtedly Coldstream Guards to my eyes and very typical in the way the SD caps are so smartly 'set up', even when in the field. My own gut feeeling was that they did at some point wear the white on scarlet cloth titles (as they do today) but it is good to see photographic evidence. The cap stars are distinctive too and with the white cap band you mentioned the whole image seems conclusive to me. I am wondering too what the cloth badge is immediately below the title, could it be a Coldstream rose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a London Regt cloth title before, especially on an economy/utility pattern tunic, and he has had it tailiored too, which with his well 'set up' SD cap gives him a very smart appearance indeed.
