Neil, It is the right pattern and is in fact a brass (gilding metal) badge despite the description. The description also states that it is 'Cardiff Pals' which it isn't. That was the 11th Battn. I suspect that Bosleys use a standard description straight form their computer database. With regard to the bronze finish sometimes referred to I have this on one of my badges and believe it to have been applied at a later date to save cleaning. It is not the finish you would get on an OSD badge. Hwyl, Kevin |

16th Welsh Collar
I've been looking for something like this for a long time.
A good photo of the above collars in use. I do have this man's name and think he survived but will check this out over the weekend and confirm it. |

Collar Badge
With reference to the soldier wearing the Cardiff City Bn collar badge; I wonder if you ever found out the soldiers name?

Gruff,
Not a Cardiff Pal. Your man is 16th Battalion. Good image though. There was a recruiting drive undertaken by the Mayoress in Treorchy. Hwyl, Kevin |

BTW, what do you think that patch is on his right sleeve, it's too small to be a 38th Div patch?

If that's the Black patch with Y Ddriag Goch on it then .... very possibly? Its just at that angle that does not show all .... the resolution is poor as well...

It is just a plain black patch to signify what company/troop that he was in.

Nice one. Are you able to see if the shoulder title is Welsh or Welch?

A good clear image of the 38th div patch. A great picture.

Although the S/T is not particularly in focus I am pretty confident that it says Welsh.
