Some (but not all) Rifle battalions within the London Regiment followed suit and, similarly some Rifle battalions of the British-Indian army. Without close ups of the buttons precise design, or a cap badge, it is difficult to say more than that. I do recall that the KRRC used very small rank stars/pips like those in this case. I echo all of this but I'm away from home just now. I'll see what I can find once back. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Sorry - no further forward on this. Several Cliffords in the officer corps of the 60th, but yet to find a wife called Baillie, Baillis, or similar. The closest I've found was a Mabel, and even there it was very doubtful if the spouse was actually the matching KRRC Clifford. Not given up yet though!

Toby Brayley Posted 18 October , 2018 Share Posted 18 October , 2018 (edited) An unknown West Yorks Chap in the 1903 Bandolier has Regimental buttons and a shoulder title that I just can't decipher.

FROGSMILE Posted 18 October , 2018 Share Posted 18 October , 2018 The bandolier wearer seems an unusual one to me Toby. The ST does not look like block letters, but more like a style of script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A layer’s badge was based on a cursive ‘L’ rather than a ‘G’. I seem to recall that the G with star or crown is a ‘Gunnery’ prize badge of some kind. 1st Prize Individual Gunner?

I was sure I recognised the Trumpet-Major - it took a few seconds to twig it was one of my cards. Many thanks for id-ing the gunnery badge.

Toby Brayley Posted 24 October , 2018 Share Posted 24 October , 2018 (edited) I am convinced this is an ASC cap badge (uniform and accouterments would also suggest this), but I can't make out the titles.

The ST is distinctly curved Toby, and I don't think that we should rule out Yeomanry Cavalry. We need to look for a unit with a star shaped badge.
