PA Jock Posted 17 November , 2012 Share Posted 17 November , 2012 My grandfather served with the Liverpool Scottish from 1914-18. And I have built up a collection of cap badges in honour of his service. Ian Riley's work is to be much commended. One question I have is did the Liverpool Scottish strike a cap badge in brass during WW1? Would like to acquire one if so and the "first badge" of White Horse in circlet From an exiled Liverpudlian in PA USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggers Posted 17 November , 2012 Share Posted 17 November , 2012 Peter Brydon is an authority on KLR badges, including the Scottish, and is likely to see this. Ian is possibly out of reach at present. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrydon Posted 18 November , 2012 Share Posted 18 November , 2012 Thanks Daggers, P.A.Jock, The Liverpool Scottish did not have an all brass cap badge.You occasionally come across bi metal glengarry badges of the 10th Kings but these are spurious ( if well made ) Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Riley Posted 24 January , 2013 Share Posted 24 January , 2013 My grandfather served with the Liverpool Scottish from 1914-18. And I have built up a collection of cap badges in honour of his service. Ian Riley's work is to be much commended. One question I have is did the Liverpool Scottish strike a cap badge in brass during WW1? Would like to acquire one if so and the "first badge" of White Horse in circlet From an exiled Liverpudlian in PA USA PA Jock. Sorry that I have only just seen this as I was connected to more tubes that I care to mention in a hospital bed when you posted this which was what Daggers meant by 'unavailable'. [Daggers, if you are reading this, I will update you by e-mail but recovering well!] The WW1 cap badge has never been in brass or bi-metal as I understand it (and as Peter observes) and our Honoray Curator, Dennis Reeves, asserts that they have always been in white metal with a very few in hall-marked silver produced when the badge was reintroduced when V (the Liverpool Scottish) Company of the TA transferred from the 1st Battalion, 51st Highland Volunteers back to the King's Regiment. It left the King's (Liverpool Regiment) in about 1937 (from memory) with a lock, stock and barrel transfer to the Corps of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders,l a connection which had been developing since WW1 As my notification system from the Great War Forum has completely collapsed for some reason for the last two weeks, I suggest that you contact me by e-mail through the Liverpool Scottish Museum Trust link unless you already have done under some other name.

Watchdog37 Posted 17 April Share Posted 17 April Really? Should I not? Seriously, they would have to get up very early to catch me with that one! I saw it whilst looking for something else and figured it would be helpful to anyone looking for info here. Best Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
