Glamorgan Artillery Volunteers.

A recent pick up, always glad to add such to my collection. A short lived unit I think, but I am still researching them.

Jerry,
This may prove of interest. http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...8&d=1221682333 If you use the search option in the forum you will pick up the thread on the Glam Arty Vols. |

However if I enter Glamorgan I get lots of threads and found this one http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ight=Glamorgan which has the badge you show, so I assume that is the one you refer to. Must be a scarce badge. Thanks as always for your help. |
That's the thread. I have more information on the unit and must update it. I should have added that the badge shown is of course an officers' badge.
The Glamorgan Militia badge is actually the scarcer of the two and I never did get around to posting the other volunteer artillery helmet plates I have. Must do that too. |
Hi Kevin,
If you can post any of their history, that would be great as Bryn Owen's book seems a bit vague on their chronology? |
