There was also an 8th NF territorial Bn formed in 1908 which shortly after became the Northern Cyclists, but Col. Wood doesn't list a shoulder title for them.
Hope this ain't a dumb question, but were there T8/Grenade/NF shoulder titles worn during this Bn's short existence?
Reason for my question, intellectual curiousity, of course, but also because I took a punt and bought one on Ebay (the all-joined-together variety). It looks genuine . . . but dunno . . . hope it is!

Lawrence - I have one too ! Although recorded nowhere that I can find, I still believe that it may well have existed if only for a brief period. I can't substantiate that other than, like you, actually having one that looks fine Regards. David
