I've tried to illustrate this thread with original photo's from my own small collection when I can .These two are copies of originals that I have in an album. The ''train spotters'' out there will recognise them from the Distinguishing patch book .

Firstly is the non regulation use of 2nd Battalion Wellington Regiment (soldiers are wearing 17th Ruahine Infantry badges) .Worn on the forearm instead of the regulation beneath the collar ,on the back of the jacket

Secondly is a New Zealand Field Artillery ,Gunner, wearing a 3rd Battalion (Blue circle/red triangle) .Also of note ,the 9th Wellington East Coast Infantry ,Warrant Officer ,is wearing a brass or bronze Warrant officers badge on his right sleeve
