Default Badge ID please.
Hail Forum,

Is this TF rifleman wearing the cap badge of the OBLI Buckinghamshire Battalion? I would very much appreciate other members' opinions, please.

With thanks,

JT

Hi JT,

Looks like the 9th (County of London) Battalion (Queen Victoria's).

Cheers, Tinto

Gents,

Many thanks.

What's throwing me is the left arm of that cross (viewer's left)... appears to have striations, as per the Bucks Bn. badge...

...not to mention what looks like a non-voided centre too.

I immediately thought Bucks Bn with an un-pierced raised centre.

Definitely Bucks Battalion. The wide borders to the arms of the cross are only found on the Bucks badges.
