Reference has been made to other VB badges other than specifically to the cycle section, attached a few of the examples i have.
1stVB officers (not silver), heavy strike with flat back
2nd VB officers helmet plate. Also other ranks glengarry and FSC badges
Volunteer bn (?) officers silver/ enamel badge. OR VB wm badge (?)
5th (cyclist) bn East Yorks badge which is refered to in the initial thread. Luke, i now have the ability to get up close to the back of the rose and it looks as though there is a blow hole to the rear though filled with braise flush so once painted, hard to spot. Also alongside is an officers badge that does not belong to the regulars. Dark bronze with silver rose to the centre, 5th bn???? Colin Churchill notes in his book that the officers badge was blackened but with a green enamel centre, its not clear if he is refering to the cap or the collar badges however.
