Could a Forum member point me in the direction of any online photos of the Citizens Volunteer Force. I am interested in officers uniform detail.

Thank you in advance for any time taken to answer this question.

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Hello Eddie.

Many thanks for the download. That is a great piece of work and I am glad to have it.

Now I almost don't want to mention this! It looks like I may have used the title wrong? The Volunteer Civil Force I am looking for uniform details on was a police unit raised in the UK during 1912 and know as 'Winstons Bobbies'. Probably not as interesting as your YCV units!

Once again, many thanks for a great work of reference, and a good read (tonight). Sorry for any confusion!

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Hi,
It was the nearest to your title that I could think of but if it's 'Winston's Bobbies' then Phil2M would probably have more information.

This may help, they also had collar badges as well as headdress badges.

Eddie / Rob.

Many thanks for the heads up. I note that in one posting it states that they wore civilian clothes. I suspect the officers, at least, wore a uniform of some sort.

Kind regards, Malcolm.
