This was a commendable initiative on the part of the CSR, but failed to achieve the desired effect. The amalgamation went ahead in 1922. The poster was reproduced in the 2017 KRRC Association Journal. Mike

Thanks for posting these, Mike. I wonder how official the 'It is understood' part of the text actually was?

The actual poster, Wilf?

The amalgamation did produce these rare cloth titles, one for each arm.

Agree with Wilf; a lovely set of cloth titles, Jon. Thanks for posting.

For anyone who is interested, the PoW title was worn on the left shoulder, and the portcullis worn on the right.
