An interesting photo showing the EIIR cypher is use by the Queen's driver. Often attributed to the Norfolk Yeomanry of course.

A while ago I found a large bullion QC badge (similar size to a W.O. sleeve badge) attached to a hat band. I wondered what it was and finally someone showed me a picture of an Australian Commonwealth car driver wearing it during the 1954 royal visit to Australia.

It was also the insignia for Army Recruiting Staff, and the final cap badge of the Royal Defence Corps** during WW1.
**formed from the National Reserve (originally Veterans Reserve) that was established from retired soldiers and marines of the regular AND auxiliary services in the years immediately prewar. |
ERII Norfolk Yeomanry

There is not much photographic evidence of the Norfolk Yeomanry wearing the ERII cypher and it’s been debated loads in Norfolk collecting circles. If they did wear it it was only 52-61 as in 62 they were amalgamated with the LSH 358th (Suffolk Yeomanry) Field Rgt, RA becoming 308th (Suffolk and Norfolk Yeomanry) Field Regiment, RA. The cypher turns up on sliders with lugs in gilt etc I suspect some of the lugged examples are ADC.
I’ve attached some images one provided by a forum member I’m sorry I can’t remember who the other is 100% NY but it’s hard to be sure on the badge. Be good of anybody can shed more definitive light on it. |

As EIIR devices proper were not available, Met Police shoulder strap chromed metal "E" and "R" letters were issued to be worn. |

Around 1985-6 I was sent a brass EIIR badge by the NRPS (Non-Regular Permanent Staff) Admin Officer of (I believe) Norfolk and Suffolk Battery RA that had been sitting in his desk draw. It is somewhere but I cannot find it. Chris |

The attached image which shows clearly the EIIR cap badge comes from a larger group photo of officers and ORs which if I can find I will post.
