Fantastic! According to the Fibis page, they became the Northwestern Railway Regiment on 1 Oct, 1920. I'd not seen the shoulder-titles from that period, so those are impressive!

What am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to search the gallery for 1914-1919 examples of West Riding cap badge and shoulder titles, and I get no results. Obviously, this has to be something I'm doing wrong. Help?
