There's a picture of it, and brief blurb in Robin Hodges' book 'British Army Badges'.

I'd certainly buy one! An "original fake" so to speak! I even tracked down some original D.G.L.I embroidered titles about ten years ago; white on scarlet.

(The Duke of Glendon's Light Infantry, the battalion in the wartime film "The Way Ahead")

I'd kill for those, I have watched that film so often it's untrue (even used it for an essay....) A highly underrated film, but never seen any insignia for sale....... guess there wasn't much...

I knew we had a copy of this book somewhere in the house ( not my copy by the way ) but it has taken me ages to find it.

Here is what I believe to be an "original" D.G.L.I. shoulder title from the film The Way Ahead".
