Default 1st VB Leicestershire Forage Cap badge
Hi all,

Latest addition to my Leicestershire Regiment collection. A white metal 1st Volunteer Battalion forage cap badge worn 1895-1902 and described and illustrated in Westlake 545. Lugged east - west and measures 25x23mm. Westlake desribes the curious choice of heraldric emblem rather than Tiger and same symbol adopted on HP and collars with unbroken wreath as per those in my album. There are, however, 1st VB cap badges with 1st VB scroll under the Tiger which I presume is the 1902-1908 period badge. Cheers Dean.
