Cape Garrison Artillery
Sharing pouch badge and helmet plates that I have in the collection to the Cape Garrison Artillery. I am aware that there are a few other versions ... if anyone has any different would be good to get a view on them
Enjoy |

Just out of curiosity, did the Cape Garrison Artillery post 1902 wear the same badges as the Cape Field Artillery, i.e., the 'gun' badge with CAPE COLONY in the scroll below the crown.
Cheers, Keith |

The CGA wore the Cape Colony version cap badge through WW1, that I have photographic proof of. Up until when they changed that I am not sure of but suspect maybe even up to the change to Republic era badges. Brian |

Didn't all artillery units adopt the SA Artillery corps badge in the 1930s?

Not that I am aware of, as the NFA continued to wear their NATAL versions for many years and suspect the other CF units might have done so as well?

Sticking my neck out here, especially with so many S.A. Gentlemen on site, but are the badges in the first post to Cape Arty & Engineers, NOT to Cape Garrison Arty. I’m using “Owen’s” book for reference so that’s why I’m sticking my neck out! What started me looking was the fact that my P.A.O.C.V. Artillery looked so different from the badges shown. The badges shown are according to Owen, 132, 133, 138 and 139. Listed as either Cape Engineers or Cape Artillery & Engineer Volunteers. Best regards, David J.
