Arthur Posted 11 February , 2006 Share Posted 11 February , 2006 Mark, The cap badge looks very much like the Sherwood Foresters [Notts & Derby] Regt. Regards Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeppoSapone Posted 11 February , 2006 Share Posted 11 February , 2006 Easily solved. Are the collar badges East Yorks or Sherwood Foresters? My eyes aint up to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 11 February , 2006 Share Posted 11 February , 2006 Easily solved. Are the collar badges East Yorks or Sherwood Foresters? My eyes aint up to this Getting old, mate? Notts and dots, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Crame Posted 11 February , 2006 Share Posted 11 February , 2006 I'd go along with that. Don't know how Great War rank was displayed on Officers - same as now but on cuffs instead of lapels (or rather on the front of your smock nowadays)? If so, is that one pip I see, indicating Second Lieutenant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebriggs Posted 12 February , 2006 Share Posted 12 February , 2006 I'd say it was Nott & Derby too Here's a good example of a Notts & Derby Officer and the badges do look very similar to those in your photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
