Bottom centre Liverpool Pals ( 17th -20th Bns Kings Liverpool Regt), need to see rear as they heavily faked.
Top right Radley College OTC?
RA - Royal Artillery

Leek is Welsh Guards.

I have not seen a Royal Artillery shoulder title with such pronounced full stops.

Marc,
Good point I didn't look closely enough at it, the ball stops seem odd on the RA title

Hi. Bottom left is a collar badge for Radley College I believe. I used to have a pair of them many moons ago and they were bronzed. KR, Andrew.

These are the ones I have the most interest in as I'm doing this for the Motueka RSA. Top of the South Badges will take center stage.

Cam, GREAT link, and it has given me the answer to two questions I've wondered about. Why the Welsh Guards wear a leek badge and why the Welsh archers in the Hundred Years War wore green and white tunics!!!
