KSLI cap....note the brass buttons.

Thanks a lot for show your beautiful caps! Certainly it looks the same! Could you tell me the difference of DLI and RB buttons? I just don' t know...

RB buttons had a wreath around them. easiest way to tell.
RB caps had black piping around the crown...KRR has red

I served with some Green Jackets who were formed after the amalgamations. they always said that the KRR would complain about the RB "having too much black"!

For interest, I'll scan and post the 1941 pamphlet for everyone to see.
If you collect caps I have quite a few which I will be selling. WW1 to 1980's (the older ones sold)

some are listed on my mates website www.jzmilitaria.com

For the Somerset LI....

a nice pamphlet. It doesn't show the buttons but another book I have on buttons will clarify them.
regards,
Paul

If anyone is interested then I will post the other pages

Don't worry! In the post 6 I posted a link to that pamphlet...thanks anyway!...but if you show that other book about buttons you are talking about I will be really thankfull!

Scans of the 1941 pamphlet Regimental Badges and Service Caps are also on the Forum in my album:

Thanks Tim, I did not know (I have this pamphlet...but now I am living out of my town and I cannot consult...so your album it will ve really useful to me!)

My friend has two buttons books listed on his website
www.jzmilitaria.com

The smaller one is good general reference...the larger one covers a much wider range.

Paul

The larger book has sold...
The small one is still available....good for general reference.

Thanks a lot Paul! I become to think that the use of black buttons are more extended that I thought...
