The Royal Regina Rifles cap badge
Hello all,
I am about to complete a long standing collection of badges to the
28th (North West) Battn CEF. The reason for the collection is that my Great Uncle (Sgt George Blake) was a member of the 28th and was awarded the DCM & MM, but sadly died at the end of WW1 from Influenza in 1920. You can find a post on the forum by placing his name or mine (Fatboy Ken) in the search engine above.
I received 2 very nice Canadian collar badges C/28 from Malcolm Davey of Watling Militaria, both maker marked (MM), although he stated on his website that he did not know which MM. After a little research I believe the MM to be "TIPTAFT".
Anyway, I am straying off of the subject;
To complete the collection I need to bring the Regiment forward to the 20th & 21st Century, I have the cap badge & collars to [The Regina Rifles]
I have noticed that this Regiment has been awarded the prefix "Royal" to become [The Royal Regina Rifles] in the 1980's.
My question is as follows;
I have been looking for a cap badge to the Royal Regina Rifles and sadly have had no success, is there a reason that I am missing here ?
If anyone has a spare cap badge, would it be possible to purchase it.
Thank you for your time
Ken (The Fatboy)
