Volunteer Composite Regiment
 

Hi

I recently acquired, what I thought was a duplicate VCR boer war badge. Upon closer examination I realised that I have two versions.

The first has the motto "All that was left of them" and the second "Natal" under crown and "Ad Finem" on scroll.

I would appreciate anyone able to shed light?

Thanks

Hi,

Two lovely badges. I can't shed any light on the difference between these two but will watch with interest to see if a more scholarly member can.

Just for interest and comparison I will attach an image of my only example.

Cheerio,

Roy

The second has the regiment's official motto and is an earlier badge, the first would be a little later, with that particular motto being used on the first regimental Christmas card, very nice.

Thanks for the insight Frank

Yes, thank for that Frank, good to know.

Cheerio,

Roy

Very nice find. Great to have both. Regards Andrew

Hello Roy,
I think, certainly from memory, this was discussed in another place, when you bought your VCR some time ago?
