RIFLE VOLUNTEER
Can any Forum member identify the unit? The belt plate "may" read 7th Rifle Volunteers around the bottom circumference. The top I cannot read. The photographers address is Shrewsbury.
Kind regards, Malcolm. |

Hi Malcom,
I think it's the 2nd Shropshire Rifle Vols. Check out this link to one of my badges. http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ctureid=140666 If this photograph is likely to need a new home then I'm most interested? Cheerio, Roy

Hello Roy.
On a second look it certainly reads: Rifle Volunteer Corps. The top half I am not too sure about, but the badge looks identical to your photo. The image measures 140 x 95 mm so the detail is quite good. Kind regards, Malcolm. |

If you look at his headgear it is a late 1890's photo and therefore more likely to be a Middlesex RVC.

Thanks for that Simon,
I'm still going with Shropshire, aside from the circumstantial being it was taken in Shrewsbury. But on really straining to look at the letters, I can just make out 'H' in the correct place for SHROPSHIRE. Cheerio, Roy
