Loyal Regiment and Brigade Seniority
I happen to have bought this BD blouse badged to the 1st Btn The Loyal Regiment, 1st British Division. Just wondering why the Brigade bars are two, since The Loyals were in the 2nd Infantry Brigade, senior brigade in the division. The Bevo combination sign seems to have been folded somewhen so as to show only one bar denoting seniority and successively restitched fully extended: any hints of the Loyal Regiment having been transferred to a Brigade second in seniority within 1st Division? any evidence of use of a different system of seniority bars in the 1st Division? When was the "Loyals" title introduced? Thank you for your help and knowledge, gents!
