Laurels with Flaming bomb?
 

Hi Guy's,
Looking for info of Royal Marines in WW1 using just the laurels with the globe removed and a flaming bomb replacing it in the centre as a cap badge??

Regards
Irv:)

The Marines in the back ground has a flaming bomb in the centre of laurels.

Looks like Royal Marine Light Infantry to me.

Not with a flaming bomb:confused:
RMA would be a better guess but the badge isn't the recognised RMA cap badge.

I want to know if this type of badge has been noticed before??

Irv, where you see a flaming bomb, I see a globe with a stringed bugle horn above it.

Somewhere on here there is a long thread on this subject.

Thanks Hoot,
Must be my old eye's playing tricks on me:(

Hi Irv, your phot looks like RMLI you old codger :) Royal Marines Engineers in WW1 used a badge that had the flames of a bomb coming out of the top of the globe surrounded by a laurel if that's what you're thinking of?

That's a new one on me.

Page 191 of Personal Distinctions shows said cap badge and phots of it in wear.

The first picture is obviously RMLI but the guy at the back's cap badge looks different, but I could be wrong:o
These pictures were as close as I could get. Have a look and tell me if the back marine is RME?

Cheers
Irv:)

Irv,

Its still RMLI, sorry.

Should have gone to Supersavers :)

Thanks Guy's.

Nearly right Irv -- Specsavers;)

regards

see what I mean!
