Guest brecklandboy Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 Dear Friends Would somebody be able to identify this soldier's regiment from a very poor photograph? Many thanks for any help with this regards brecklandboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeppoSapone Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 Can you enlarge the badge at all? It looks to me as if he is wearing a GS button as a badge, which will not be a lot of help in finding out his unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Reed Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 This man is serving with a Training Reserve battalion. Men in these units wore General Service buttons as cap badges as they as yet had not be sent to a Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 It may be a trick of the camera, but it looks a little like an 8 pointed star around the badge? That would make Middlesex Yeomanry a possibility? Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeppoSapone Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 This man is serving with a Training Reserve battalion. Men in these units wore General Service buttons as cap badges as they as yet had not be sent to a Regiment. Most of them did Paul. In the case of my distant kinsman, Sid Newman, they all wore the same cap badge of one of the instructors. Not sure if he made them do it, or if they wanted a proper badge rather than a button?
