One to digest- TF adoption of Regular battle honours
Army Orders - October 1917 (Published on the 22nd September 1917
A.O. 298/1917 - III - Territorial Force - "In consideration of the services of the Territorial Force during the war, His Majesty the King has been pleased to approve of units of the Territorial Force being permitted to wear on their badges the mottoes and honours worn on the badges of corps, regiments or departments of which they form part of."
"The letter 'T' will still be worn below the collar badge by officers of the Territorial Force, and no officer will be called upon to change the badges he now has in wear. Badges in store, in wear and in regimental charge will be used up before any new badges are issued."
Paragraph 486, Regulations for the Territorial Force will be amended as follows;-
Delete from 'Honours' in line 1 to 'forces' in line 5 and substitute "Units of the Territorial Force are permitted to wear the badges of the corps, regiment or department of the Regular Forces of which they form part, including all honours and mottoes that are incorporated in any of these badges."
Apologies if you've seen this one before.
