Which Regiments, please?
I think we have Royal Fusiliers and at least one other regiment in the attached photograph. Can anyone ID any badges or pagri flashes, please?
I have seen a description of the 2/3rd London Regiment at the IWM here, but I wondered if there were any other possibilities. Many thanks, Chris Last edited by Drew; 12-09-17 at 12:34 PM. Reason: To manage attachments |

Is the officer standing left wearing trews, possibly the one sitting left?

Ah yes - presumably that stick next to his leg is a desert clock.

The Pagri flash appears to be a two tone square, divided diagonally.

Many thanks to everyone for their comments. I have looked at all the regular battalions of the Royal Fusiliers and there is only one which had a similar sounding patch / flash.
2nd Battalion Royal Fusiliers Interestingly, they were in the same Division as the 2/3rd Londons at Gallipoli. I wonder if there was some conscious mimicry on the part of the 2/3rd Londons. The 2nd Bn. RF patch is described as worn centrally on the back in Infantry Divisions, Identification Schemes, 1917, By Mike Hibberd Given the descriptions, I think it seems more likely to be the 2/3rd Londons. Did the London Regt. RF officers wear a small 'T' on the lapel? I don't remember seeing it in pictures. |
