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.

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.

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.
