Voiding above the title scroll and Smith & Wright says economy Chris.

Always worth searching the Forum but asking keeps it fresh.

The WO put out a tender for 5,000 'all GM' Dorset Regt cap badges in April 1916. The best contenders were Bent & Parker and their main rivals Smith & Wright !

May I ask where you got the info please?
