Rob is right, the 1960's or even before, but no evidence that they are genuine.

I was terminally infected with the badge bug when in 1968 a Bombardier kindly gave me his rotating wheel cap badge...

Thanks Herman - looks like a handsome silver version of the generic pattern. A badge I will look out for, but unfortunately it is often hard to tell whether a cast badge was made for service wear or...

That's the one Tim. Old new describes them perfectly. Assuming these weren't made after the three-lug Pattern 7232 was sealed in 1910 they look very sprightly for centenarians.

Happy New Year Herman

The badge you describe seems to be the generic bugle with 2 lugs, either Pattern 10011 or 10011a, in GM for regular troops and WM for Volunteers until 1908 - although there...

The colours were used by Light Infantry Regiments in the late 1940s before they were replaced by the green and maize versions that were used until 2007.

Great stuff and thanks. The Seventh (Light Infantry) Battalion The Parachute Regiment were not disbanded in 1946; they subsumed 17 Para with no change in title. In 1948 they did change title to...

Congratulations on a great find! Were you detecting on the old ranges?

Fittings like these appear on smaller (30mm - 40mm) skirt ornament bugles which were integral to the casting - but this...

Many thanks all. Can’t find any references to the badge in Jon’s brilliant book. Perhaps 1 PWO were the first to wear it. Had a good Skype with a 1PWO mate who now lives in NZ who isn’t sure if...

Was being worn by a 1 PWO officer on my PCBC course in 1979-80. Don't remember the badge having a yellow edge though.

Allied Command Europe Mobile Force - Land/ACE Mobile Force-Land/AMF(L) Question

When did British Infantry Battalions start wearing the AMF (L) patch? 1 PWO had them in Bulford in the late 70's but was this common practice when the AMF(L) started in the 1960s?

Shooting Badges

Many thanks for sharing an incredible photo of a crack shot. Is there a reference which details the shooting badges worn by Volunteers and TF, and when the TF ceased wearing them?

Its much more likely to be a Cabinet Card rather than a Carte de Visite - they are bigger (4.5 x 6.5 inches) and replaced CDVs in the 1880s.

Quite so, but the 68th LI had returned from NZ a couple of years or so before this image was taken.

Not a very clear image but isn't that the the 1868 tunic? The 68th Light Infantry Kilmarnock rather than a Glengarry might suggest c.1870.
