Default Queen Victoria's Rifles shoulder title query

Ive seen the following images of the QVRs sew on title.
Can somebody possibly provide dates of wear for the 3 different ones.

Nice. The first one is WWI. The second was introduced in 1952, the third is probably post-war as well but I have found no official record of it and would be interested to know if anyone can provide evidence of its use.

Don't recall one but cap badges are not really my area of knowledge.

Hello Jon,

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how do you know the first one is WW1? It could just be my lack of experience, but I have only ever seen the black on khaki one described as WW1. Also in photographs don't you tend to see the black/khaki example?
It is not that I doubt what you say, it is just that I would be very interested to know more about this example.

Cheers,

Chris
