A couple more, the oval red flannel backing to the 6th Kings ( Liverpool Rifles ) other ranks cap badge and ,whilst not a backing as such,the distinctive green and black diced hat band worn by the Lancastrian Volunteers. I once had a complete full dress cap to this unit and even today, many years later, I regret having let it go. Surprising how with the passage of time,once fairly common items become almost impossible to replace.
P.B.
