Jools mckenna Posted 6 August , 2019 Share Posted 6 August , 2019 (edited) Any guesses on the cap badge on this one? (Anzac?) And it looks like the one of the men in the background is trying to knock the hat off the other but he's probably just waving to somebody not in the photo.

Pat Atkins Posted 12 August , 2019 Share Posted 12 August , 2019 It's voided, and the top of the shield might be horizontal, does that help ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Elliot The WW1 badge for the Essex Yeomanry had a scroll at its base, Elliot. As a post-war photo it could be Essex Yeomanry, because the badge changed to omit the scroll, but the shape of the central shield in the badge in the photo seems too irregular (to my eyes) to be Essex.

CorporalPunishment Posted 12 August , 2019 Share Posted 12 August , 2019 It looks to be the Essex Yeomanry to me, the badge being the 1909-1916 pattern that was replaced with the badge with the lower scroll. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete. Okay Pete, I’ve only got my phone screen and you might well be able to see better. I had felt that the seeming irregular shape of the central motif suggested the Shropshire design with pointed top to shield, but I’m quite happy to be mistaken. As was said the two are very similar.

But I cannot see clearly the collar insignia on the man sitting cross-legged in the middle. Would they be rank or might they give a regimental number ? Is the uniform WW1 or perhaps postwar ?

Charlie Charlie, It is a regimental number, '2'. Are the uniforms postwar? I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with uniforms to make any conclusions. What can you tell me about it?

Waddell Posted 20 August , 2019 Share Posted 20 August , 2019 Recently picked this image up of some Jocks in India. Not dated but photographed by R. Venkiah brothers in Madras. Possibly pre-war. I suspect they are Royal Scots due to the voided cap badge. Happy to be corrected though. Interesting belt worn by the man standing to the left.

Scott Pipers would have had plain glengarry caps as seen here, but most Royal Scots wore the diced version. The belt’s been made from plaited leather. The main leather work centre was at Kanpur (Cawnpore). The cap badge is similar to HLI, who wore plain green glengarry caps, but voided cap badges (if that’s what they are) militate against.
