Wessex Brigade & Regiment
 

Good afternoon
Could anyone tell me if there was such a thing as a Wessex Brigade Officer's cap badge for the No 1 dress cap made in Hall Marked Sterling Silver? If there was has anyone got a good photograph of one.
Also a photograph of a 2nd Battalion Wessex Regiment shoulder title with blue enamel(the 1st Battalion had black enamel)
Great forum always learning. Many thanks if you can help Neil

There is also a green enamelled one Worn by C company ?? 2 Wessex

Re H M S badges I have one on my boards and quite certain that I also have one on a cap
Re green enamel s/t once again info from fellow collector who is a walking ref library on all things wessex will ask if he has an example
David

Thanks again David. As you know the Regiment was only in existence from 1967 to 1995 but there is so much to collect that I don't know about (even though I served in it). Any help is always appreciated. Regards Neil

Neil,

Have you seen this thread?

Neil,
Also be aware that white on red cloth embroidered titles WESSEX and WESSEX REGT exist but I am pretty sure they were only worn in 1950s films like ‘Private’s on Parade’ and 1960s TV dramas.

Thanks Tim, very good thread about the Wessex Regiment. Have printed it out for reference.
If someone has a photo of the silver cap badge and 2nd Battalion Shoulder title or even the green enamelled one mention by David I would be very pleased to hear from them.
Thanks for the advice about cloth embroidered titles, the soldiers in the film Harry's Game were wearing blackened wyvern cap badges!! well after the end of the Wessex Brigade.
Look forward to talking again. Neil

Neil will post photo of H M S badge over the weekend I not been able to take any photo's for a few days -others are also waiting for photo's of various items
