Gjwork@hotmail.co.uk Posted 2 May , 2021 Share Posted 2 May , 2021 Wondering if anyone has an opinion on the markings stamped into the tang of the butt of a CLLE. Tentitivly identified one set as 8th Battalion Royal Scotts but am completely at sea with the rest. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 3 May , 2021 Share Posted 3 May , 2021 Well, I suppose it is dated 2 (19)10, but it is almost as if a final letter is missing for a '1st/5th of the D' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open Bolt Posted 4 May , 2021 Share Posted 4 May , 2021 8th Royal Scots (Pioneer) seems quite possible - and 2/10 RS were "famous" too for going to Russia but were in Ireland until late in the war. Pure guesswork but 1/5th DCLI were another pioneer battalion that might have had an MLE offloaded onto them, and there are of course other 1/5 Ds too, such as as Devonshires.
