12 Battalion (Bermondsey) East Surrey Regiment
Hello,
I'm looking to buy some badges from my Great Uncles regiment the 12 Battalion (Bermondsey) East Surrey Regiment but I need helping sorting the fakes from the genuine. Can anyone help? Thanks John |

Thanks,
My son and I have been researching my grandfather and two great uncles who fought in ww1. We visit France or Belgium twice a year to walk the battle fields and visit the places they fought. |

One of my Great Uncles Mark Stephen Gliddon was in 12 Battalion (Bermondsey) East Surrey Regiment. Three Gliddon brothers signed up they lived in Tooley St, Devonshire Building?
I have walked his battles at St Eloi and around Ypres. What about these badges? Regards, John |
The cap badge is correct for the 12th.
Collar badges were not worn during the war as a rule but the pioneer battalions and the pals collars shown for the 13th were one of those exceptions. |

The 13th Wandsworth Battalion wore a unique cap badge also. |
