Thanks for posting these Bob. May I ask whether or not the Essex Regiment would have ever worn/been issued with, A/A collars prior to their amalgamation?

Also, I know that in the very early days of the forming of the East Anglia battalions, the Royal Norfolks (as was) still wore their Britannia collars with the new East Anglia badge, but was there any such similar awkward overlapping of insignia with the Essex?

Cheers,

Peter.
