Victorian R.M.L.I. officers

A recent purchase. The photograph was taken in the studios of George West & Son, Gosport. Sadly, there is no indication of who the officers might be.

The first thought that I had when I saw the S/T was that it might be Korean. However, I am not familiar with the Korean script so it is little more than a guess.

It seems to have come from the large Indian Army badge collection that was sold at auction recently. Barry seems to have purchased quite a few of the lots.

The third may be a 1916 all G.M. badge but may also be a fake. There are signs that it came from a worn die and I am not happy with the slider. The finish is a bit odd and I suspect that it might be...

Military Police armband.

The armband itself is unfinished but does appear to have some age to it.
