pbrydon Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 In a process of elimination, I would say not British regular Infantry. Yeomanry ? P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 Looks nothing like East Surrey collar badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrydon Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 The device at the top of the collar badges does not look like a crown to me, Anybody agree or disagree ? P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Grundy Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 Matt If you have access to the 'Absent Voters Lists' for where he lived, these may shed some light on his unit. Can't help with the collar dogs, I'm afraid. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 I know nothing about collar dogs, but I'd agree it's not a crown - looks like an animal (lion?) to me. Shield with a scroll underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrydon Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 I think it is very possibly the 12th ( Bermondsey) Service Battalion, The East Surrey Regiment. See Churchill page 141 ( 890 and 891 ) P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 17 February , 2008 Share Posted 17 February , 2008 Looks good, PB. Also in Reg Cox's book, page 187. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
