Default Do you recognize this image - can you indicate the source.

I am looking for some source help please.

I found it the attached illustration online in 2011 but carelessly I never make a note of the source. The line drawing style with brief regimental annotation is quite distinct. I think I recall that the publication was a periodical and I believe many regiments were included in the article

By any chance does anyone recognize this image and can they tell me the source?

thanks in advance

John

Default Great War Illustrated

Hi John,
Something in the back of my mind visualises a double spread of cap badges (of which this is one) from the Great War Illustrated.
I remember having the chance of looking through someone's bound copies many years ago, & this was the sort of thing they did. Pre Internet!!
I may be wrong.
The Great War Illustrated may be available on line but I've not come across it.
Here is a site on VC recipients- check half way down Albert Ball VC page for an article on him in the said magazine, for style & font etc.

All the best with your search,
Alan
