Hi Dan, They would have worn what was available. There were supplies of the First WW general list badges for new recruits. Some fellows from the militia would wear their old badges, sometimes collar badges were worn.
Several units from 2 CID were authorized to purchase badges when they arrived in the UK. That included the RHLI, Carleton & York Regt, and iiuc, the Royal Regiment. There may have been more.
