oldbill Posted 24 May , 2005 Share Posted 24 May , 2005 Can anyone tell what this badge is, i think its Westminster (Yeo) Dragoons but seems too pointed at the base compared to ref i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 24 May , 2005 Share Posted 24 May , 2005 Not sure - could well be. The collar dogs look like Royal Dragoons cap badges, so maybe collar badge experts out there would know. Nice post-war pictures: lots of gongs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Fisher Posted 24 May , 2005 Share Posted 24 May , 2005 I think the shape of the scroll at the bottom of the badge is wrong for the Westminster Dragoons, but I can't offer a better alternative. The collar dog boys will decide this one Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted 25 May , 2005 Share Posted 25 May , 2005 The collars sure look like the 15th, and (with imagination) one can see the circular design on the cap for that regiment. DrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 25 May , 2005 Share Posted 25 May , 2005 The Chap with the Lion & Crown Collar Dogs is I think you will find Royal West Kent Regt,who wore such Collar Badges,,if you squint you can make out the White Horse Cap Badge,Not sure about the other fellow though!!

Greg Posted 25 May , 2005 Share Posted 25 May , 2005 The majority in the picture are wearing puttees and boots except for the General/Colonel or Staff Officer in the Centre and his next door neighbour. No spurs apparently Suggests infantry. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted 25 May , 2005 Share Posted 25 May , 2005 Mea culpa, mea culpa.....The West Kent officers did wear a different collar badge than the OR's. (That's what happens when one is thinking "cavalry") I would agree with HB. (Churchill #370-373 for examples) DrB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
