Some lovely badges here. The construction of some makes comments previously made on here about the validity of badges posted for opinion in the past seem absurd, round sweatholes being one of them in fact the presence and necessity of sweatholes in general. The East Surrey badge is an interesting item as is the Norfolks regular one which appears to be all nickel, VB, Militia, Walking Out ?
Reminds me of a collection of Pre-WW1/Boer War I bought years ago and there are those who still believe the Welsh Horse shouldn't come with loops.
The 9th Lancers is a real puzzle though.
