Leeds Pals Titles
Happy New Year to all!
One for the Yorkshire guys I think? I know there are a couple here...
I have been rooting around the information and photos I have available to me here, but sadly this does not include Westlakes Book on titles.
Can somebody clarify if the Leeds Pals wore two versions of titles? I have one with "LEEDS" over W.York, and another with "15" over W. York. If this is the case, does anyone have dates? I can only guess that similar to Bradford and Halifax which are numbered 16, 18 and 21 respectively, the number "15" were the earlier versions issued and/or approved when the Battalions were formed. Possibly the "LEEDS" version came later?
Was there a 17th (2nd Leeds)? Never seen or heard of one one these....
Cheers, Neil
