I have not yet seen this book - but I suspect that there is only one unit / badge that concerns me. Yes, the Nat War Mus sent out two questionnaires to every unit in 1917 and in 1919 regarding the uniforms and insignia they wore. The response to the first Q was a bit sparse - they were a tad busy at the time ! Nevertheless, they provide invaluable data for anyone interested in 1st WW insignia.
To complement this, the ledgers of the Royal Army Clothing Department provide detail of every badge (and socks, spoons headdreses etc etc etc) produced, with quantity, Pattern types etc etc - essential.
I look forward to seeing it.
