Latest find , WW1 german souvenir belt From an AIF soldier who was part of the 1st Infantry regiment 1AIR prior to WW1 hence the 1air title , he was WIA twice and returned back to Australia ,
All badges are in good order with a heavy dark patina . Hope you like |

A superb piece of Australian military history (in a Pom's opinion!). I hope that it remains untouched. l

What a superb item, wonderful piece of history.
May I have a close up of the Ayrshire Yeomanry cap badge please? And the back as well if possible. Many thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers Chris |

You're a star, thank you.
I'll compare it to my AY's later, see if it's a different pattern or not. I love seeing badges like this, actually worn by serving soldiers in WW1. Many thanks again Chris |

Nice looking belt, any idea why the buckle is the other way up to the badges.

it's a sign of disrespect showing logos / emblems upside-down so it was probably done to show the german buckle in a negative way

Hi,
Numeral "3" was possibly for 3rd (Darling Downs) Light Horse or 3rd (Port Curtis) Infantry. Cheers, John |
