16th (1RDY/NDH) Devon' Regt, 74th Yeo Div.
Hi All
Rob Miller put me onto this WW1 Brodie from another place and I am doing a bit of detective work on it.
The original markings are the 74th Yeo Div black diamond and then a side by side flash on the other side. At some point after its use in the 74th .... the helmet has been used by another ODDY 235567..... with a blue rectangle painted over the original marking. I have done a search on that reg number and its not a yeo number.... so it belongs to the blue rectangle.
The original markings:-
74th Yeo Div ..... obvious
The other side appears to be two Pagri flashes together at a guess.... that of the R1stDY and then the RNDH? So both their Galliopli Flashes combined to make one for Egypt/Palestine/France&Flanders. Thats what I am thinking anyway...
Can anyone confirm the regimental colours for each Yeomanry?
