BOSS BADGES
Following this theme on headress, is there any sort of definitive guide to the various styles and colour of cord boss badges worn by the British Army. It is something I sort of fell into whilst looking at Gurkha badges and seems to be an area with little or no published references that I can find.
I know of the various rifles and light infantry but also that regiments such as Berks, Buffs, Warwicks at some time all had cord bosses. Any clues? |

didithevan,
The only source in respect of boss badges ( i.e dealing exclusively with this type of badge ) that I know of is a series of articles in the Crown Imperial magazine in March and June 1980 and June 1981 by Irvin L.Mortenson entitled " The Cord Boss as a Head dress Badge " The articles mention and describe many different examples of cord bosses but cannot be said to deal with all examples of cord boss badges and only a few are actually illustrated. P.B.

Here is my example, the badge leaves a clear ghost mark and I believe it to be original to the cap.
