Leicesters' TF/TA Badge
Martin,
Many thanks for your reply, while I realise that we have to go by the rules to a certain extent regarding what was worn by which unit at a time in the history of that unit, I think there are exceptions to the rule.
It's finding out when and where those exceptions occurred and most of the players in this production are no longer with us, we have to rely on contemporary photographs to ascertain the provenance of items that are not always recorded in the official works.
When I bought a collection of Army Cyclists Corps shoulder titles some while ago there were a pair of ACC titles among them, according to books these were Army Catering Corps which was not formed until 1941, however, a post on this forum produced a photo of a Great War cyclist wearing ACC titles.
I was hoping when I started this thread that somewhere there may be an old Leicestershire T.A. man who said "I remember . . !", but that's wishful thinking .
Regards Rob
