British WW1 Cavalry - Repository for Photos
 

Hi All,

As many of you know, it can be a challenge to determine what was worn by the various British cavalry regiments during World War One.

I was thinking it might be a good idea to start a thread (or maybe even someone create a forum photo album) to document photos of British Cavalry soldiers so we have a good reference as to what insignia they wore during WW1.

What do you think?

Regards,

Mick

Hi mick I think it would be a great idea,hope it takes off

I'm happy to create albums to put photos in. If people can post them here or email them to me I'm happy to put them into albums as a reference.

Mick

I've create albums for each WW1 British Cavalry regiment.

So if you have any pics of WW1 British Cavalry soldiers and officers please post to this thread or send them to me and I'll upload them into the albums.

I'm surprised no one else has commented about this.

I thought there would be interest in having a place where photos of WW1 British cavalry uniforms showing insignia can be displayed.

Sorry Mick for being slow, I completely agree with your idea and hope that it picks up momentum as it will be a great reference for all of us👍

Hi Mick

Yes, sorry for being slow, I have some photos and Im happy to send them to you, for you to post.

Regards Phil.

Happy to contribute, as I’ve never gotten around to doing a Cavalry and Yeomanry counterpart to my infantry album. Speaking of Yeomanry, any interest? I have a decent selection in my PPC collection.

Anyhoo, here’s a start with the cav.

Thanks! Have uploaded them.

Some cracking pictures there, thanks for sharing!

Love to see some hi-def images of the Motto..... one of them looks like a possible conformation of the date period for the "Long Nose" Motto.

I’ll look in my collection this weekend. I may have sold one or more of the 17th PPCs, but I’ll try to get a higher res scan of what I still have.
