[48th]

In WWI the 48th Highlanders recruited 3 battalions, 15th, 92nd and the 134th.
Here is the 15th Battalion and there shoulder patch. There were two variations of cap badges for the 15th battalion lovingly referred to as the small 48 and large 48th. I see the small variation more often.
Also pictured is a large 48 variation along side another large 48 that for what ever reason has had it's 15th Battalion scroll cut off the bottom. I often wonder if the scroll was cut off by a soldier so the badge could be used post WWI.

Picture with the red backing is not mine but it shows a 15th battalion intern cap badge. These were made up during the war when sufficient amounts of proper cap badges were not on hand yet for new recruits.
