Rob B Posted 4 August , 2011 Share Posted 4 August , 2011 Thanks Broomers, as someone who was nearly Commisioned into the Royal Hampshires I only knew them as that. I bow to your superior knowledge. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 5 August , 2011 Share Posted 5 August , 2011 A pleasure Actually, it's odd that the officers' badge had a crown over the rose, which the o.r. badge didn't acquire until 1946. Discrimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 5 August , 2011 Share Posted 5 August , 2011 A pleasure Actually, it's odd that the officers' badge had a crown over the rose, which the o.r. badge didn't acquire until 1946. Discrimination. If I remember correctly one badge came from the 37th Foot (worn by the Offrs and linked with the North Hants Militia badge design) and the other from the 67th Foot (with the 'Tiger' honour and worn by the ORs), thus marking the 1881 'joining' together of the South and North Hampshire county associations that were set up in 1782 during the first attempt to prescribe territorial affiliations.
