Yeomanry Puggaree Flash Gallipoli


Simon J Emmerson

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find flashes worn on the puggaree by Yeomanry Regiments during the Gallipoli Campaign. As shown in the photograph.

I'd be very greatful for any information & photo examples.

The Yeomanry were of course the cavalry of the auxiliary Territorial Force.  I know that forum member @poona guard is currently working on a book covering TF cloth insignia so it might possibly be the case that he can help.  Hopefully this flag will draw his attention.

I can’t promise anything Simon, but he usually responds and overall it is an area that he has studied in great depth.

Hi Simon,

Details of the flashes used by the Yeomanry will be included in volume 4 of my series on Great War badges. Do you have a specific unit in mind?
