Default Cheshire Engineer Volunteers

Having a bit of tidy up and found some old pictures of my Cheshire Engineer Volunteer items ( long since disposed of ) but I though the pictures might be of interest as they show the famous " railway engine" collars.

What seems to be little known is that, I understand that there were some Militia Engineers attached to the unit and they wore the same collars but in brass rather than white metal.

P.B.
