CAP BADGES AND SHOULDER TITLES in one thread

[FROGSMILE]

Only if they could feasibly have been worn by an old contemptible, say issued and then superceded in the 20 years before 1914 ..... I will compare Westlake with my odds and sods box. Irritatingly, I have the "next but one" RDF bi-metal Quail, but not the version in GM only. Scarce as rocking horse by-product?

There are quite a few that would meet that criterion and as you have started it with the RDF.........

Quite a few indeed! Those that did NOT muck about with titles in the 20 years before 1914 would be a shorter list.

I have had a quick whizz through Westlake as far as Worcesters.

Queens 1902

Buffs 1902

King's Own 1893, 1899, 1902 and 1905

NF 1910

R Warwicks 1902

King's 1902

Norfolk 1902

Leicester 1902

R Irish 1902

Green Howards 1912

RSF 1907

RWF 1898

R Inn F 1900, 1908, 1914

Gloster 1902

Worcester 1902, 1907

I have converted all Westlakes "about" and "by" to a single unqualified date.

AND NO, I AM NOT GOING TO COLLECT THEM.

I will finish the list next week, for those bereft of Westlake.
