Hi Guys,
The document is a good start re: AA cap badges but there are lots more in the Kew Archives and other documents around the UK in museums etc. worth looking at.
The complaints about the Grenadier Guards badges were not entertained by Gaunt as it seems some were stamped on and hence this was the reason they became scratched.
With regard to Lancers badges. If I remember there were very difficult and expensive to make and it came to a point where manufacturers were not interested in making them. This may explain why I could find no info on the 9th Lancers.
I don't have a copy of my book with me at the mo but if I remember all Bess and Mike's comments are also written up in the Preface or Chapter 1.
Regards,
Chris
