1st pattern Herefordshire LI - collars (1964 - 66)
Gents, amongst a small car boot haul earlier, unbelievably came across this pair of first pattern anodised alluminium Herefordshire Light Infantry collars ( sealed in Oct 1964 - see Churchills).
The smaller collars we are familiar with, were introduced in 1966.
I have never seen another pair and would be interested if any other members have a set. It is my understanding from another forum member, that the regimental museum in Hereford state that these do not exist.
Churchill states they were made by W M Dowler - and potentially were the only run made of these short lived collar badges.
Regards all
