henery Posted 3 August , 2010 Share Posted 3 August , 2010 Hi Can someone please identify this cap badge. Am I right in calling it a forage cap? Thanks henery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 3 August , 2010 Share Posted 3 August , 2010 Hello Henery, The badge is a Royal Artillery badge, but there are many variations of the mottos which these badges bear, especially among regional territorial units, so without a really sharp close up it I could not be more precise or certain. As for the cap, I think this type of cap is either called a Field Service Cap of a Side Cap. I am dubious that it is for the Great War period though. It looks (as his uniform does too) to be from quite a bit later. Perhaps WWII or immediately prior to it. I hope that helps a bit? I'm sure someone who really knows will turn up before too long. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
