Hi High Wood,

Nice button; thank you for sharing these pictures. I've not seen one of these before. It's similar to the standard 2nd RVC button worn by the 16th and 18th amongst others.

The Sixth were formed at Petworth on the 8th of February 1860. They became part of the 2nd and then 1st Admin. Bn in 1874 before becoming D Coy, 2nd RV Corps in 1880.

KR,

Pete.

Simon
