This is really a Forum collection as so many have helped, thanks to all. I never imagined this was going to be so hard seeing as I posted my starting point back in 2017 and that was eight years since I started collecting again with the move back to this colony, cheers Dean.
That looks sensational mate. It's got me motivated to try and fill in the gaps in my yeomanry collection.

Very well done Dean. I know the time an effort that goes into assembling such a Yeomanry collection in the 2020s! No mean feat. Nearly there!

Thanks Luke - a team effort as you well know, that TY Stafford was a quest (sorry Cam), cheers Dean

Dean, I'm sorry to be a pain but your Essex Yeomanry badge is the 1905 to 1909 IY pattern with the "Audacter et Sincere" motto. You need the one with the "Decus et Tutamen" motto (1909-1916).

Thanks Hoot,

Michael Wood's excellent book on the "Badges and Insignia of the Essex Yeomanry" notes that the earlier IY pattern in gilt and gilding metal was worn through to at least 1909 and unofficially until the end of the Great War. A bronzed version was worn from 1915. I have stuck with the gilding metal example on this basis as a number of my badges including this one came from a contemporary 1914 collection. I should as you suggest swap it out but as it came from my inherited collection it makes me think twice.

It's a fine hobby for stretching the 'what badge when' rules as I often do, cheers Dean

Default Dare I say it is complete

Hi all,

Added in a genuine Queen’s Own Glasgow Yeomanry and a Worcestershire Yeomanry cap badge and an elusive Middlesex Hussars (MH) shoulder title to replace a T Y County of London. The MH titles were worn at the start of the Great War.

Thanks to Keith Hook and Pat (aka Longdog).

It has been a long and satisfying journey, cheers Dean.

I'm going to be in Brisbane the week of ANZAC Day. If your free it would be good to catchup.
