Provost Staff Corp - or is it?

[dubaiguy]

The bottom left badge I’ve seen sold as Norfolk Yeomanry as well as Provost Staff Corps. To muddy the waters further Cox also shows it in his book as 938 Canadian Military Headquarters.

I’ve listed it as Provost Staff Corps in my collection as that seems to be the weightiest opinion. Am I right though? Is there any pictorial evidence for any of the above or am I just following the loudest voices in the herd?

Thanks gents

I would also label that one as provosts. The Canadian HQ badge is the same but is on lugs if i recall correctly.

Norfolk Yeo is bigger with the lettering being more open.

I have no pictures as proof, just what i have come to understand.

The Norfolks are indeed much larger.

It had other less glamourous uses and there is a photo on the forum of a Barrack warden with it in his cap.

All in here including a link to the Rootschat forum with the warden.

Just to add to the confusion, the same badge was worn by the Royal Park Keepers and a plethora of Government employed messengers and other staff.

I go along with Phil and say that the Norfolk badge is wider.
