All photos of 5th Wellington officers 1912 to 1915 that have seen show the Gaunt bronze scrolled badges being worn, the only exception is Colonel Robert Collins who is photographed wearing a gilt or very possibly a gold scrolled badge, however, Colonel Collins badge could be pre territorial.
5th Regiment officers 17 April 1912, David Kenny should be there.
