The cap badge for all the East Surrey Regiment battalions with the exception of the 6th was the same as the regulars. 12th (along with the 7th, 8th & 9th) were a WW1 Service Battalion and it's possible their collar badges may have differed by being the pick & shovel type. The 13th, another Service Battalion also from Bermondsey wore unique collars with the coat of arms of the Borough.

Just down the road from me.
