Hi Ukbrits,
The 14th looks good in spite of the poor definition at rear.
I'm not sure about the 25th, the long lugs are off putting.
Others may have other opinions.

Royal Durban Light Infantry

Hello South African members,
Here is a recent acquisition. I presume the silver brooch and banner was for a regimental reunion.
What does C.A.W.A. stand for? Also, what vintage is the badge?...

Cut down Derbyshire Yeomanry title

Hello Yeomanry collectors,
This shoulder title puzzles me. The "T" has been cut but for what reason?
I know this was done to some of the Territorial Infantry titles.
Thanks,
