Is the wording "Welsh" or "Welch", if the "s" spelling it's pre circa 1922.

It's Welsh Leigh , I never ever noticed before ,you've opened up something new to me here as I have no idea what member of family was in ww1 , the other cap badge is certainly spelt "Welch" so I presume my father was with the royal Welch Fusiliers then with the Welch regiment when joining up with the south walians ..I stand corrected though..thank you for that info on the sweetheart brooch ,that's some excellent info you've passed onto me , many thanks .
