Let's deal with your last question first. Ashok Nath says, in "Sowars ands Sepoys" that 'All ranks of the 3rd Battalion wore a 4 inch black diamond shaped patch on [the] left sleeve.' Perhaps in addition to their original unit collars or in lieu of, but clearly a common badge/marking.

That said, please ignore all that other nonsense that other 'Peter Monahan' spouted yesterday. Logic only takes one so far, and in this case in the wrong direction entirely! This Peter Monahan has done what the other bloke should have done in the first place, instead of pontificating, and gone to Nath's invaluable book. Colour me embarrassed!

The real information is included below. Let me know if you can't make out the photos clearly enough and I'll scan them. These are just cell phone snaps. Again, head bowed in shame!
