Andy Wade Posted 24 March , 2015 Share Posted 24 March , 2015 Hi Everyone, I've recently been sent a picture of Private Clifford Shuttleworth of the West Yorkshire Regiment. On his sleeve above the Marksman's Badge is this round-ish shaped badge. Does anyone know what it is please? I'm stumped and I suspect I'm going to be embarrassed when the first person comes along with a simple answer that I should have known... Thanks for lucking. Kind regards, Andy.

IPT Posted 24 March , 2015 Share Posted 24 March , 2015 Could it be Hotchkiss Gunner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 25 March , 2015 Share Posted 25 March , 2015 Or Lewis Gunner? I think there was also one with MG in the laurels for machine gunner. It seems a bit "solid" inside the laurels though. RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 25 March , 2015 Share Posted 25 March , 2015 Because of where it is, it should be skill-at-arms, so, if it is anything other than a blemish on the photo, yes, HG LG or MG in wreath. Of these, LG is firm favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wade Posted 25 March , 2015 Author Share Posted 25 March , 2015 Thank you very much chaps, I'm much obliged to you all for this! I can't get a better image of the sleeve than the one I've posted but I'll email the person who sent me the scan and ask him to look at the original with a magnifying glass to see if he can resolve any letters, now that he knows what to look for. Many thanks again. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
