MIDDLESEX REGIMENT BADGE BACKING
I have seen a bi-metal Middlesex Regiment cap badge with what appears to be a slighter longer slider. It is mounted on a plain yellow triangle backing. Can any Forum member give an opinion on what this might indicate? I have seen a diamond shaped backings in yellow and maroon with this type of badge, but not plain yellow.
Any help will be gratefully received. Kind regards, Malcolm. |

The longer slider suggests that it was worn on the side of the FSH (Foreign Serice Helmet) in India, Egypt etc. Most badges of this type had a backing. In this instance I would suggest a particular battalion of that Regiment.
Have a look at Alan O's album of FSH badges which also includes a lot of contemporary photographs. |

Hello Malcolm
As stated by KLR worn on the FSH, I’ve a picture of one on the helmet and although in black and white the dimond backing is in an off white colour so suggest’s the yellow ( not the normal diagonal of maroon & yellow) I’ll try to get an image up later if I’ve chance,? Why the plain yellow backing I’m still on the hunt for the answer myself Gerard
