Yeomanry WW1
Yesterday I acquired what I take to be a badge of the 8th Imperial Yeomanry. Initially I thought that it was Boer War vintage, but closer inspection showed the the V111 had 6 sided lugs , which I'm assured indicates that it is from WW1. Can anyone tell me more ?
Many thanks Mike |

Hi Mike
Hexagon lugs do predate WW1, here is a page from the Edwardian Gaunt catalogue c1904, and some collars from the late Victorian period. Rob |

Thanks, Rob
That is really helpful information. I have always thought that this sort of lug made a badge WW1 now we have proof to the contrary. Regards Mike |

The lugs are very typical for British made shoulder titles that were certainly worn during the Anglo Boer War, very nice.
