[KLR]

I can't remember where I put it ...
but at the 10.4.08 meeting of the West Lancs TF Assoc appointed Hobsons & Sons were contracted for the Service Dress requirements... (ie not for the regular units). (356 WES 4/1)


I think Firmin were suppliers for the new 1896 Pattern - as many of the new badges were Firmin

I have a nice silver plated 5th Bn badge but the difference with other makers - I now have GWM badges with the same die - is it H&S ?


There are H&S large HP VB plates in WO359/21


It's clear that Hobsons provided insignia for the new KLR Vol Bns - see below!



(The badge manufacturers as described by Ticker - the 1939 Min of Supply lists badge needs - here they list the manufacturer and note new die needed)
