[41st]

This is a very unusual Welch OSD bronze collar. As it is the post 1920 C spelling variant it shouldn’t exist as the regimental pattern cap badges also worn as collars were only worn by some territorial & service battalions up until the end of the 1st World War. As far as I’m aware they were not worn after 1920.
This one is made by Jennens so it should date to between 1920-1924. The first two photos show the badge in question & the second two show it between two Jennens cap badges of that period.
Churchill mentions that “A post 1920 pattern badge with title scroll, “The Welch” has been noted, but as far is known was never officially worn on the collar”.This is the only one I’ve seen so it may well be a trial pattern.
