RN Cap Tallies. Help sought.
Paul
Here is a typical example of a child's sailor suit of about 1900. Unfortunately you can't see the cap tally on this one because of the angle he's wearing his hat at! But there will have been one. The style varied from manufacturer to manufacturer. Most went for a stylised form of name and some even included flags at either end of the name - often a pair of White Ensigns or a White Ensign and a Union Flag.
