Drew,
Re the 2/14th and 2/15th.

I have found no info about the 2/14th officers having a badge on the back of their tunics and Robson's 1960 book, 'The Uniform of the London Scottish 1859-1919' makes no mention of one.

The 2/15th officers wore a 2" diameter Tudor rose in blue and silver grey on the back of the tunic from June 1916 when they went to France but this was discontinued when the battalion went to Salonika in November 1916. (Info from the IWM 1919 uniform questionnaires in the IWM library).

This doesn't get a mention in Hibberd and Hobbs because that deals with the badges in use in Autumn 1917.

Mike
