The usual title was indeed a two or three piece one, a separate D and G or a single DG with separate numeral are the norm and I've encountered both many times, for the Corps of Dragoon Guards, whilst I'd be tempted to say that the DG is later, I would think both were certainly in wear during the Anglo Boer War.

I have seen on a couple of photos of the 3DG's in the Boer war and they are wearing what appears to be a three piece title, 3 above DG, whether the DG is separate is unclear.
Does anyone have an example of this title, or a photo of it being worn please?
Also, when did the standard 3DG title come in and did it replace the separate one or were they both worn?
Last question, has anyone seen a 3 piece one for sale anywhere please?
Your time and help are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Chris
