Default 'M' Collar Badge

Just wanted to share this find as I had not come across an 'M' collar badge before. Royal Artillery Militia, I think:







Regards,

Yes, Militia pre - 1908.
It should be worn on both collars, he appears to have lost one!

Well, if it fell off into his soup he certainly didn't swallow it with that moustache.

Can you blow up the cap badge on the rear soldier. Is there an M on his badge or not?

A shame, but there doesn't appear to be an 'M' on the back row cap badge(s); see what you think:

Couple of photos of Kings Regiment militia tunics attached which might be of general interest.

Thank you, nice items.
I think the second one is a frock is it not?

No there is not an M as far as I can see. I have yet to see a period picture of a milita RA cap badge. They certainly don't seem to have been universally worn.
