Not an expert on this by any means, but I believe the CWGC use the regimental crest, not the cap badge. I guess, in the vast majority of cases these are one and the same, but there are other exceptions, The Royal Flying Corps for example. I believe, in the case of SLI, the crest has XIII, not PA. https://secure.nottinghamshire.gov.u...e/Details/9968 Best regards, Mike
