thanks Tim, I asked because I am not sure I ever fully understood this example I own.

The red backing isn’t right for the Welsh Brigade. That’s an unusual example Jerry as you have implied. The 2nd Gurkha Rifles wore a similar, oft nicknamed “cricket stumps” Prince of Wales feathers on a scarlet background, but in black metal. I wonder if your badge has a civilian application. That can be a stumbling block with emblems that are not exclusively military.

Hi John, that’s the only one I have seen, and I still don’t have it. It’s the same size as the large other ranks cap badge.

Here’s my one with a green backing, which I thought was a brigade badge for the swb and your red backing the Welch regiment, I’m not 100% sure. (Had my one off the co when in army cadet’s early 80s). Dave Last edited by eddie; 22-01-23 at 12:47 PM. |

If correct, the backings would have been in accordance with associated facing colours: RWF - Dark blue. SWB - Grass green. WELCH - Red (the Welch Regt wore white facings, but probably chose red as that had been the 41st Regiment’s facing colour in 1815, and as a nod to the crimson collars of the officers mess kit over impractical white. It had also been a colour within the regiment’s ribbon/flash as used on tropical helmets, etc. of white, red, green. These three colours represented the 1881 facings, the old 41st facings and the 69th facings. Last edited by Toby Purcell; 29-11-22 at 04:45 PM. |

this group shot of instructors with a major from the 1st welch/welsh brigade appears to have the black backed bullion badge but in the 1st RWF group shot he appears to have the metal badge?

Got to agree on that Jerry. I wonder where the first image is taken from ? He appears to have a Somerset TA,Somerset & Cornwall LI Sjt behind him. Sash over left shoulder. Dont think the sash over the left shoulder was adopted by the Brigade until they became a Regiment.

I haven’t seen an embroidered East Anglian Regt, but I can definitely show a small silver & gilt version alongside the larger one. Apologies for the lighting, not helped by tarnishing.
