This regiment originated in the 52nd Bedford Battalion of Infantry at Knowlton, Quebec. It was renamed the 52nd Brome Battalion in 1872 and was amalgamated into the the 79th Shefford Regiment to form the 79th Shefford and Brome Regiment. This unit was converted to cavalry 1 Feb 1904 and renamed the 13th Scottish Light Dragoons.

I was told that this unit was a "paper unit" only (like the Canadian Irish Rangers). I always wanted to have one in the 1980's and I could never find one.One, IMO of the most difficult to find.
Lucky you.

Thanks Jo, I appreciate that history very much. The man who's badge this was - or at least I am assuming (& we all know that assumption is the "mother of all f+++ ups") it was his, as it came with original paperwork {which is what attracted me as I like original documentation} & his QSA medal - he was in First Prince of Wales Regiment Fusiliers May ''99 to Nov '02, then again May '04 till Jun '05.

Would this unit have worn this cap badge?

& what exactly is a "paper unit"??
