Several possibilities as to why he had a standard E. Surrey badge. Perhaps it was just one of his possessions obtained during his service along with other Surrey battalions.
I do wonder if the entire 13th were actually badged with the correct one all through the war, as there was so much flux during the time along with supply problems.
