Guest bloggster Posted 16 June , 2011 Share Posted 16 June , 2011 Hi everybody New to this forum and request some help in identifying regiment of my grandfather H E Webb. Attached is a picture postcard from Aldershot dated 3rd April 1915 of Henry (centre) and addressed to my grandmother in Islington London. London rifles ? Any clues anyone Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted 16 June , 2011 Share Posted 16 June , 2011 Too big for the Wiltshires IMHO Mike- could be one of the following given the London connection: 6th (City of London) battalion (City of London Rifles) 9th (County of London) battalion (Queen Victoria's Rifles) 11th(County of London) battalion (Finsbury Rifles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 16 June , 2011 Share Posted 16 June , 2011 Dang! One of these days I will get one. I think you may be right with Finsbury Rifles Squirrel? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavster1980 Posted 16 June , 2011 Share Posted 16 June , 2011 probably wrong but could it be KRRC? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Doyle Posted 16 June , 2011 Share Posted 16 June , 2011 Deffo KRRC to my mind, as the arms of the Maltese Cross seem to bear multiple battle honours. Nice to see that these black badges have their red felt backing in place. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Yes, a nice badge and always very distinctive, although some of the London Regiment battalions were quite similar which can make spotting the differences more difficult.

Guest bloggster Posted 20 June , 2011 Share Posted 20 June , 2011 Thanks all for your input. Photo wasn't the sharpest and nice to rely on expert experience. This has given me a starting point for a bit of research. Cheers! Bloggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
