WelshVoices Posted 8 April , 2013 Share Posted 8 April , 2013 Hello - I hope that someone will be able to help with this cap badge. Photo of unknown soldier, probably from Treboeth, Swansea - the shape suggests it could be the Welsh Regiment cap badge, but I'd be grateful for any suggestions / confirmation. Thanks, Gethin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalyback Posted 8 April , 2013 Share Posted 8 April , 2013 Having goggled Mr B's suggestion. It fits(not that I doubt his know how on horsey regiments) Not Glamorgan yeomanry or Welsh regiment. Only other "native" badge would be RE, royal mons. Looks noting like these regiments. From swansea but placed into what ever regiment needed him.

larney Posted 8 April , 2013 Share Posted 8 April , 2013 Definitely South Lancs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshVoices Posted 10 April , 2013 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2013 Thanks to all for your suggestions. This information may help to pin-point the soldier - the photo comes from a family collection, which contains many postcards from members of Caersalem Newydd chapel. This chapel's WW1 roll of honour (see http://www.peoplescollection.org.uk/Item/31176-caersalem-newydd-ww1-roll-of-honour ) has 79 names, but only one is noted as serving with the South Lancs : D Lewis. Thanks again, Gethin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATNOMIS Posted 10 April , 2013 Share Posted 10 April , 2013 Would that be Lewis D? David D Lewis 1st Welsh Regiment, South Lancashire Regiment 19502, 64171 Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
