Kevin Tobin Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 Can any one help please? I cannot find any reference of a Manchester Regiment badge with a C on it? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Brannen Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 I would assume 16th (1st City) Battalion, though the ones I have seen are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8055Bell Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 1st City could make sense, but it certainly isn't the original shoulder title from 1914/15 and these were replaced with material in 1916. I've not seen this before, but I'm no expert on badges and titles. They would know on the Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Broomfield Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 1st Cadet Battalion, formed 1884. (Westlake's book on shoulder titles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROGSMILE Posted 27 November , 2019 Share Posted 27 November , 2019 (edited) I concur with Steven, the lone 'C' within a shoulder title was consistently used for Cadet Battalions, of which there were quite a number during WW1.
