Yorts Posted 8 January , 2004 Share Posted 8 January , 2004 Hi, Kipling & King 1995. Head-Dress Badges of the British Army - Volume 1 - Up to the end of the Great War. ISBN 0584109474. Although I have viewed copies of it (and it is very good - almost 2000 badges are listed) it is a pretty penny to buy, hence I don't own one. A second volume exists for the period after this, if you want details I'll post. If you do choose to buy one, or someone else has a copy and they wouldn't mind photocopying the pages showing Royal Marine badges for me I'd be very appreciative! rgds, Alex.
