Default Research help please

Hi All
I have just acquired a nice Essex Regiment cap badge with a number stamped onto the slider. If anybody has access to Forces War Records or a similar site could you possibly look it up for me please? My subscription has expired...
The number is 1791, so I assume it is an early number.
Thanks in advance. Cheers,
Alex

Hi Gerard
Wow, thanks. I looked but didn't find any Essex Reg guys with that number, but my search skills aren't great.
Cheers,
Alex
