Major Q. E. Gurney
Whilst I cannot offer a definitive explanation I can offer two suggestions:
a) At some stage in this tunic's life it has needed replacement collar badge, and either KORR Norfolk Yeomanry badges were not available, or whoever replaced them knew no different.
b) This tunic was worn by someone other than Gurney who served in another unit. I suggest this as the yellow triangle 'battle flashes' are not those associated with the yeomanry of their successor Norfolk Regt Bn. These triangles have been associated with other infantry battalions raised under the Norfolk Regt cap badge though.
Whilst recognising the yeomanry buttons, I presume you have confirmed that Major Q. E. Gurney did serve with the Norfolk Yeomanry?
Stephen.
