I haven’t seen an embroidered East Anglian Regt, but I can definitely show a small silver & gilt version alongside the larger one. Apologies for the lighting, not helped by tarnishing.

The Glosters was worn in 2 versions, yours and an identical one with a pin-back version for wear on the pagri. Worn by the 1st Bn in Malta. There’s a picture of one in Brinson’s book p48.

It could well be chromed. I've taken a nail file to a small section of the back of the slider and it's still white metal.

I suppose that your dates of 1985 - 2009 could be narrowed down a little more as the slip-on titles were only worn on CS95. Previous to that I presume all cadets would have worn a brassard on the...

Hi all,

Having been to Yate last weekend, which I discovered by accident, is there a common list of when and where these events take place?
