My question is for the following Battalions :
The 6th (Cyclist) Battalion, The Royal Sussex Battalion
The 7th (Cyclist) Battalion, The Devonshire Regiment
The 10th (Linlithgowshire) (Cyclist) Battalion, The Royal Scots
From what I can gather, and see from photos, these 3 battalions simply wore the standard cap badge for the parent Battalion.
Is that correct? Or were there, in fact, distinguishing features to their badges?
Appreciate any advice
Cheers, Tim

IMHO that is correct. They wore the same as the other TF Battalions of their regiment.
