Thank you all for your replys. Appreciated.
I actually have one of these badges.
When I was stationed in Colchester many moons ago, I popped into a Taylor's shop to sort my mess dress and got talking to the chap who ran it.
He said it was there well before WW1 and he had round the back loads of small cardboard boxes with various cloth and metal badges collected over the years by his Father etc, all for use in the shop. He said he was keeping them all like a small museum in his own shop, fair enough.
He agreed to show me these boxes and some of the badges!! Wow, pre WW1 titles all the way to sixties.
Anyway, a small box with TC titles on it caught my eye, in it were about 30 odd of the white on black TC titles, and a small bit of paper saying 'blue walking out'.
The chap knew I was interested so he gave me one if these titles. I do wish I'd visited the shop again, I was sent on op tour then posted! This was about 15 years ago.
Sorry for the long story, I've no idea why Colchester, and not Bovington, but there we go!
