Steven Broomfield Posted 13 December , 2015 Share Posted 13 December , 2015 Thanks, LF. I was going to vote for the 10th King's (though the later Cameron version is less pleasing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max7474 Posted 13 December , 2015 Share Posted 13 December , 2015 My favourite badges include the 25th (Service) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers (Frontiersmen) and the Liverpool Pals hall-marked silver cap badge. Sepoy NB It is a shame that the condition of the Frontiersmen badge is not that great. Despite what can be found in K&K and Gaylor's book, the badge is not the 25th Bn but a post war Legion of Frontiersman society badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7t2ndswinger Posted 13 December , 2015 Share Posted 13 December , 2015 3rd (City of London) Battalion The London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers) A wonderful officers hemlet plate, but it's actually the 3rd City of London Rifle Volunteers 1902-08. After 1908 they were the 7th City of London Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medaler Posted 13 December , 2015 Share Posted 13 December , 2015 Looks to me to be Cameronian Rifles khaki Yup, looks like that to me too - Scottish Rifles (Cameronians). I know it shouldn't, but the star always reminds me of Newcastle Brown. My own choice for favourite badge? I think I would have to go with Lancashire Fusiliers. No particular reason, just that it seems to have everything that it needs in pleasing proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoppage Drill Posted 14 December , 2015 Share Posted 14 December , 2015 I wasn't going to comment in this thread - beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all, and regimental loyalties tend to sway artistic discretion - but I confess that I am very taken by that representation of the Uffington White Horse - Berks Yeomanry was it ?

Derek Black Posted 14 December , 2015 Share Posted 14 December , 2015 regimental loyalties tend to sway artistic discretion Well so far no one has said they like the look of one over another because "my grandad was in them". I find many of the Scottish badges too samey samey. With no research interest in any English regiments I still find several badges much more unique and elegant.

Newcastle Brown, Designed by a Colonel Porter, DSO & bar, of the North Staffordshire Regiment in about 1927? always something interesting to learn. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, my Grandfathers regiment, well the one he was with the longest was the Black Watch, I have a couple of nice Black Watch badges and a few other Scottish regiments but I find them a bit clunky and samey. I have a few fusiliers and a Grenadier Guard in the family but that's not why I prefer the grenades. They are er pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 14 December , 2015 Share Posted 14 December , 2015 For conceptual simplicity the crown and cipher I always thought was attractive. The Victorians of course couldn't help themselves and had to embellish the design, but the results were often quite stunning. Here is the Derbyshire Yeomanry VR. I have never seen a KC version of this, although some different ones were designed for the 1902 Coronation. The VR version was worn well into the Edwardian period. The Norfolk Yeomanry had a similar design but rather more ornate (if that is possible). the cap badge was a simpler GvR but still I think rather attractive. As already observed the Yeomanry was rich in badge design and had a leaning towards flowers. The worst cap badge has to be the Welsh Guards Are we allowed to go into pouch belt badges? If so the Cameronians is probably one of the most stunning there is and the Indian Army could also make a strong showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
