Royal Dublin Fusiliers

[les3011]

Hello, I am researching the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, specifically shoulder titles, and would like to find out what form they took between 1914-18. I believe that pre-1910, the shoulder titles were in two parts including a bridged 'RDF' with a separate plain grenade above; and a later officers title was one piece with a 'D' and an 'F' separated by a grenade. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what the 'OR's shoulder title looked like post 1914.

Many thanks

This is a RDF one piece with a seperate grenade used up to 1922.

I agree with the previous poster and there is clear evidence that the two part title shown was used.

This page from the "Niell's Blue Caps," Vol 2. might help

I tried to attach a copy of page 232 from Neill's Blue Caps, VOL2, both as a bmp and as a jpeg but neither one attached. It shows Full Dress Busby Grenades, Tunic Grenades and the shoulder badge which is D_F seperated by a grenade which seems to have the Elephant and Tiger embossed.
