WW1 Royal Welsh Fusiliers Shoulder Titles - help needed
Hi All,
I've been asked to frame up a relative's medals and badges and was looking for a bit of advice. These are his original badges but they are missing one of the T's. I know he was in the 4th battalion, are there some number 4's missing as well or did they not wear them? Thanks for the help, Michael |

Michael.
Yes there are T 4 RWF titles, have seen seperate four part s/t so agree you are missing a 4, do have both brass and w/m (as per image). Ta Jonathan PC220372.jpg |

That is a sans-serif T, not usual for S/Ts. Regards, Paul.

Ok, as I say they are all his original badges that were passed down with his medals, if it's not a shoulder title is there anything else it could be?
Could he have worn just the grenade and rwf letters? I can understand a single T going missing over time but both number 4's seems a bit odd. Thanks for the help, Michael |

Hello Michael-I have no knowledge on TF RWF- perhaps it was used-I can only say most TF Ts are not like that. Regards, Paul.

Ok Paul, thanks for the help.
I did buy a single T at the weekend and was told by the dealer they were either large or small. I took a gamble on the large and when I got it home saw that it wasn't even close, as you said the font of mine is completely different. I'll keep digging. Michael |

That's interesting, so it may be from his great coat, it does seem to match the one in the photo
