Remembered Today:

Is this cap badge ...

This question is related to the posting I added a few minutes ago (Identification of Regiment - Liverpool Scottish), at least related to the same family.

I have a photo of one of these 5 brothers who were all killed in the Ypres Salient. What follows is a detail of the cap. My question : this is a Lancashire Fusiliers badge, isn't it ?

The reason that I am asking is that I am only 99% sure, and most of all : actually the man is not supposed to be a Lancashire Fusilier. (If the information I have about this family, he should be either Liverpool Scottish (King's), or York and Lancaster or Middlesex Regiment, but I am (almost) sure the badge on the photo is none of these three.

Am I correct when I think this badge is Lancashire Fusiliers ?

this may help too.

The cap is a typical 1914-1915 stiff cap.

later you see more Gor Blimey's and soft caps.

So this picture is possibly early war.

Thanks, Kristof, Phil, Grovetown and Russ.

Russ,

Changed rgiments ? Yes, it happened frequently. However, SDGW doesn't mention that for this particular soldier.
