Cloth shoulder titles

[zippy.72]

Did the Lincolnshire Regiment experiment with cloth shoulder titles before WW1? I am particularly interested to know if the territorial battalions did so.

Zippy,

I have a woven white on red curved title 'LINCOLN' that I belive was worn on the SD tunic pre 1914-sorry can't post a pic as I am in away on the Queen's business till Oct.

Zippy,

I'm interested in the same question. I believe that this is a Lincolns Sergeant (from either 1910 or 1912) and could be 4th or 5th Battn of the North Midland Division

I have a post running on this but don't think anyone has replied yet (maybe i spelt it wrong )

The pattern service dress with twisted cords on the shoulder was introduced in 1903; and withdrawn in 1908 (as were cloth titles in favour of metal ones).

Best wishes,

He also belongs to one one of the Linc's Volunteer Battalions and is wearing a matching cloth numeral above a cloth letter 'V'.

The title I have in my collection is identical in construction to the one Mike shows in the picture, I cant tell the colours though. Mark
