5th etc.
Hello Sean - Your left-hand button is 5th Dragoon Guards (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) 1902-1922 and your right-hand button is 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards 1935 onwards. Please remember that the amalgamations caused some confusion in the use of the '5th' Dragoon Guards - the first button is clearly pre-amalgamation, the second is post-amalgamation. Hope that helps. Regards. David

Many thanks for your help. I was just not sure which which was which!! At least now I can match each button to the correct badges. It means I have a complete 5th Inniskilling Dragoons set - badge, collars, shoulder titles and buttons and I am now two thirds towards a complete (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) 5th Dragoons Set! Thank-you Sean |
