WLH,

Make a few short quick posts here and your ability to post photos will be activated.

It's very hard to identify a badge from a verbal description vs. a picture - one man's swan is another man's pelican etc.

Cheers,

Hi Neil, The shape seems wrong to be Kings Liverpool, but thank you, i'm now wondering if its a swan at all !, Iwill try to post the photo.

Many thanks

The only swan I can think of is the Bucks Battalion of the OBLI but that particular swan is quite small in the central roundel of a KRRC-style maltese cross and unlikely to be visible in a grainy photograph.

What about Hawke Btn, RND?

Or could it be a dragon or griffon?

What else can you see?

Cheers,

Mark
