92 BUGLE HORN BADGE FOR ID.
An unknown die cast cap badge for ID. Note flattish brass lugs. Will probably be moving this badge on.

A nice looking badge,
I don’t think it is Rifle Vols as I don’t think any County went up that far, I know Lancashire went close going to 91. It seems to have some age and as you say Brass lugs, some Rifle Companies of the Regts of Foot wore Bugle badges but I’m not sure if the 92nd (Gordon Highlanders) did. It may be British India but the high number could be against that. Be interesting to see whom it’s too. Paul |

Is this Donegal Light Infantry or too recent for that? Regards Mark

Could be Irish Militia , who had higher numbers. The 92nd Wicklow Rifles pre 1881, could be a possibility. But have no information on insignia worn by this unit.

Further, their Glengarry Badge, sealed on May 4, 1875 in white metal, is the Prince of Wales Feathers upon a scroll with the title 'Donegal Militia" (recorded in the list of changes WO 359 vol 2. P 411, date and metal only no pattern number or description recorded). To the best of my knowledge they were never a Light Infantry corps, only the following Irish Militia corps were LI, Armagh, Royal South Down, Dublin County, Fermanagh, North Tipperary. Neither were they a Rifle corps (but am happy to be corrected) John Last edited by John Mulcahy; 22-02-18 at 12:53 PM. Reason: typo correction and added text |

Re-embodied as a rifle corps on Jan 27, 1855, The undress (Kilmarnock) scroll was in blackened brass and though I know that other ranks were issued a shako for full dress I do not have records of the shako badges. I would have expected such badges to be blackened, possibly a bugle worn below a blackened boss with crown not in white metal. I would have expected solid curls and no strings for the period (akin to Antrim). The regiment was converted to artillery April 1, 1877. Although Glengarry badges started being sealed for Irish Militia corps as early as June 26, 1874 (the earliest I have found being Clare the last being in Feb 1778 was a second pattern for Dublin County), no Glengarry badges were sealed for Wicklow (at least none is recorded in the list of changes) consistent with the Glengarry not being issued to artillery.

Lanarkshire went up to 107, but 92 was vacant. Some Rifle Volunteer Corps are known to have used the precedence number of their county in their badge. 92 is Isle of Man.

There was also a 92nd Punjabis in the Indian Army, 1903-1922, but I don't think they were designated as rifles or light infantry.

The rear loops look South African or possibly Indian style to me.

I must admit i like it, is it Glengarry size? Definitely Victorian style, confusing with the numbers of 92nd Foot. It was just a thought but way off the date and style. Regards

The only Indian Army unit to bear this number was, as pointed out, the 92nd Punjabis, who were 'Light Infantry' for a 2 year period between 1901 and 1903, so not theirs, I'm afraid. No other numbered Indian regiment used this number, as prior to 1902 the IA was made up of three Presidency forces, none of whose units were numbered higher than about 50.
1890 - 4th Regiment Burma Infantry 1891 - 32nd Regiment (4th Burma Battalion) Madras Infantry 1901 - 32nd Burma Light Infantry 1903 - 92nd Punjabis 1922 - 92nd (Prince of Wales’s Own) Punjabis |

Anyone mentioned a Canadian unit? There was a 92nd Dorchester Regiment and, I believe, a 92nd Canadian Expeditionary Force Battalion.
Not really my area of interest, so not in a position to say one way or another, just a further suggestion! Any Canadian experts out there ready to make comment? Roger Last edited by Cribyn; 23-02-18 at 02:12 PM. |

The 92nd Dorchester Regiment had no Light connection. It's badge is shown on this forum: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/can...r_regiment.htm
The CEF Overseas 92nd Infantry Battalion (48th Highlanders) badge is also on the forum: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/can...ce/cef_e92.htm
