Thank you for your replies, much appreciated. Another question though. Having now read up a little on the 13th Foot and the siege of Jellalabad I see that the 13th were awarded the title 'Prince Albert's own' on their return to the UK.
If I am right it appears that the regimental badge dropped the numerals Xlll in place of the letters PA and this remained the Somerset Light Infantry's crest into and through the 2nd world war. So I'm wondering why the CWGC have used the very old version of the regimental crest on the SLI headstones and not the later version which would have been in line with when my uncle fell?
