Hi martin, this is the WW1 pattern, worn by the Newfoundland Regiment.

Having never seen the back of an original one, I can't say for certain. Perhaps some colleagues can show one ???

Hi All,
Here are my Newfoundland badges. Reverse one is the bottom right of the group. My wife and I were on the Western Front last year and made a special point of visiting the Newfoundland Memorial as well. Regrds, Tinto

What an amazing find! Even though it's damaged, it's still a real piece of history.
I can definitely recommend a visit to the Newfoundland memorial park at Beaumont Hamel. The student guides do a fantastic job, and are a credit to their country. Next time I'm over for 1st July, hopefully I'll see the commemoration there. It's meant to be very good. John

One small error in the Wikipedia entry on the current organization of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment. The Regiment consists of two, not three, battalions, the 1st with HQ at St John's and the 2nd with HQ at Grand Falls. The current cap badge is relatively easy to come by; Marway Militaria can probably scare one up.

Thanks Guys
the badge was found on a farm a couple of miles north of Guisborough which was i believe part of north yorkshire, but is now part of cleveland ,the newfoundland regiment may have been stationed near here before going to France... Last edited by martin123; 04-10-09 at 07:51 PM.
