hello there

This looks similar to the patch worn by the 9th batt,Black Watch, part of 15th Div.
Perhaps worn while attached to this unit or worn by the medical units of this division.
The 9th batt, badge is shown in this link.

I agree Toby. I have the uniform and effects of a RFA Gunner who has both a plaited white lanyard and another in leather the latter seems to be an affectation associated with WW1 gunners I have encountered others in this style attributed to the Royal Artillery.

Fantastic jacket you have photographed. I am intrigued by the Sam Browne waist belt. My suspicion is that this is a curator’s addition and not part of his original effects. It’s not uncommon to see such inconsistencies in museums where curatorial expertise in a particular field is sketchy.

My question concerns the red braid, on the front of one sleeve only, below the war service chevrons. What do they denote?
