Royal Malay Regiment
Hi folks
Just thought I'd share a new purchase. A set of items from the Royal Malay Regt.
Officers Songok, majors eppelettes, two brass shoulder titles and a full set of brass buttons.
Unfortunately nothing is know of the original owner although I'm assuming it was worn by a British Officer as I am uncertain if there were any Malay Majors prior to independence.
Also I know that yellow is the Colour for Malay Royalty, is this what the colour of the yellow backing to the shoulder titles and cap badge signify or could they be battalion ID colours.
Cheers
Sean
