Default I just like these :)

Hi guys

3 of my latest badges after a light clean.
Really pleased with how they and the pics turned out

These are badges I bought simply because I liked them. Now they're some of my favourites!

Cheers

Colin

Nice first pattern Ayrshire yeo. It was worn by the IY but its use continued into WW1. I have a photo somewhere with it c.1915.

Alan: from what I understand, the 17th Company of the 6th (Scottish) Battalion of the Imperial Yeomanry was sponsored by Ayrshire and Lanarkshire Yeomanry;
did they use their respective cap badges throughout the war?

Also - do you know when the 2 pattern was first issued?

Thnx

Colin

No better reason in my opinion for buying a badge.

P.B.
