WW1 Cap Badge ID

[Guest]

Can anyone ID the below Cap Badge please

 

Believe it's one of the Light Infantry regiments, but unable to confirm which one.

[Robin Garrett]

Possibly Durhams

It's that bit in the middle which is causing me problems for DLI, also the configuration if the top (have been puzzling over this pic on a sister forum, can't make it out). Blurry shake, or something more significant?

Definitely not DLI (there is no crown) but could be KSLI but the top looks more like OBLI

Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry methinks too.

Definitely not KSLI. I agree with Frogsmile

Thanks for the input.

 

I'm more of less convinced it's likely to be Ox & Bucks LI.

Looks a bit old for 3 years of active infantry service as a private! Respect!

He might well be a recalled reservist who earned good conduct during a short service engagement previously.

The chevrons are Overseas service, not Good Conduct of course.

Yes, mea culpa, I missed that Muerrisch, responding in error to PhilB’s words rather than the photo.  Never a good idea!
