There are 2 (sort of) related questions here:
1. Did the F&F yeo wear the Bw badge after 1917? They certainly wore BW kilts on occasions as the regtl history shows (it is on-line). I suspect that there was a mixture of F&F and BW as reinforcements arrived from 2 regtl sources.
2. The second is whether the brass one is 1917-18. If it is not an economy what is the logical reason for it during this time period? Why could they not be pre war slouch hat abdges or a makers' error. Soory to be pedantic but where is the evidence for this BW claim?
Finally don't forget that there were 2 other Bns of F&F yeo in UK from 1917-19 but sellers are not quite so keen to sell them as 3rd Reserve 'never went anywhere' bn!
