So where are the SP cards for the dragons ?


Anyway, it looks as though I'll keep the WM dragon to represent the Monmouthshire Regt

The 2nd Bn Mons or's forage cap dated 1909 I own came with a GM dragon which I assume is original to it.

Hard for me to plead ignorance of that thread - I put a post on it. A lovely little cap.

Not wanting to be a naysayer but badge with the hat appears to the from the Woodward die (mouth, ears and feet all match) yet it has a slider exactly the same shape as the one on eBay marked ENGLAND.

You did say "dragon" and I focused on "face and ears."

( been to the IWM and NAM seen the Monmouthshire sealed pattern cards but not for the brass or W/M dragon).

2. The brass dragon badge was worn during WW2 by the 2nd and 3rd battalions and the 4th battalion wearing the insignia of the South Wales Borderers.
