Leicesters Volunteers adoption of regulars badge
Thank you for sharing this Neil, most interesting. I have it that volunteer battalions were allowed to adopt the cap badge of parent regiments in white metal but without honours (War Office Directive dated 22 May 1901, WO 359/10, p. 306), see Julian’s posting here about this, so, presumably, that applied to helmet plate centres as well?
Best regards
Martin
