" When did they begin using the "Stokes" only mark on all their badges? Is it a valid way to date a badge (or did they also use this short title early on for very small badges)? "


Hi Dennis,

I've attached some pictures of the hat and collar badges for the Australian 8th Light Horse Regiment (INDI Light Horse), which were used during WW2.

As you can see the hat badges (pictures via eBay) are stamped STOKES & SONS and the collar badges are stamped STOKES.

Cheers,

Invest
