Many thanks to those on the site for their advice and support John |

I'm pleased for you, it is never pleasant to find yourself in that sort of situation, my only other thoughts would have been on the subject of selling the badge in question, on ebay, I would not put that paragraph you wrote in post 19 on your ebay auction page, it would certainly not do anything for your own reputation as a seller.

This is also evidential in the Canadian issue "Pickled" badges in later years which may have been prompted by similar practice during the second Boer War. |

I was just about to write that they may have darkened their badges as they did in the near east and Egypt in the 1st WW. Though I've looked through photgraphs (of the KLR) in SA and only saw S&G / BM !
Officers Service Dress (OSD) was introduced by Army Orders (A.O.) 8 of 1902, and thereupon appear in DR 1904. |

In the Army during the Anglo Boer War cap badges were worn on the field service cap, which was carried on campaign, with the helmet actually worn, by the time of the second invasion of the Cape, the appearance of Atkin's began to change with the slouch hat in common usage, you very seldom see photographic evidence of a badge upon them.
So I would ask where are all these khaki and bronze badges now and if it is true, why did this "direction" not extend to the SAMIF? Quote:
