Bit frustrating.... its doing it for first Div as well? Pages under construction etc. So I am furtling around the internet trying to get snippets here and there and connecting the dots......

GriffMJ Posted 18 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 18 March , 2010 One for the "Boffs" :- I have just been sent a picture of 2231 Trooper Clarence W Bear, LYPAO and then later Machine Gun Corps (Cav). He appears to have embroidered shoulder titles of "LYC" = Leicestershire Yeomanry Cavalry on his battle dress. Has any one seen this type of "embroidered" shoulder title in other regiments during WW1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
