Worn c.1918 by the volunteer bns that superseded the VTCs. Not to be confused with the pre 1908 Vol Bns.

Another great image, Jo.

In October of 1916, the War Office announced the badges of rank, cap badges and shoulder titles to be worn by the Volunteer Force, who were at that time still clothed in their VTC uniforms and insignia. Officers and other ranks were now to wear the same badges of rank as those worn by the Regular Army. All ranks were to wear the Royal Arms as their cap badge (as per your pic), with officers having the letter 'V' in place of (but frequently in conjunction with) collar badges. Other ranks were to wear cloth shoulder titles which slipped onto their shoulder straps.
