Are my eyes fooling me, or is there a faint impression of collar dogs on the lieutenant's lapels? I don't think any are actually there, more like a mark on the jacket fabric where a collar dog would have been fitted.
IIRC, officers in most of the London battalions with KRRC-style badges also wore regimental collar dogs. The KRRC did not.
Dress regulations should also have them wearing the "T" for TF I guess.
Another thought is that the shape of the mark resembles a "C" - could this be 1st Cadet Battalion KRRC? But then why would the officer have a pair up? And a Gor Blimey cap?
Perhaps memories of the KRRC 1st Cadet MG Section Tuck postcard below are distracting me.
What is the cannon anyway?
Mark
