There are 3 officer's headdress badges shown:

1) "ERI" with a crown above and a "VI" below, over crossed lances with a scroll below reading "CAVALRY" in brass;

2) "ERI" with a crown above and a "VI" below, with a scroll below reading "K.E.O. CAVALRY" in brass;

3) as 2 but with the ERI, scroll and 'bag' on the crown filled with red enamel.

The buttons are a crown above the POW plumes, flanked by "V" and "I", with "KEOC" below.

I hope that's clear. The illustrations in the book are numbered and referenced in thew text, but with minimal detail - no explanation, for example, of why the three variations, tough one might infer that the enameled version is for full dress.
