Norfolk Volunteer Regiment
Picked up this large photo the other day because he has this badge on the hat:
(KK 1668) above crossed rifles with slings the letters NVR and above these a coronet. In Black metal. does anyone know what the shoulder title could be, the one on his right looks to end with the letter R There is no detail on the buttons. His collar on the jacket is two colours, i think the outer part is a dark red/blue On the back there is the following info Percy Storr 1914 died aged 50 father of iris storr ( later wollard then roberts) anyone got any ideas about the rank around the cap aswell no name on the photo all the best ae

First picture I have ever seen of the badge in use, Try the census to pin him down to Location etc. May not be of help for what is said to be a VTC unit but I spoke to Dave earlier and he has seen unusual rank designations on OTC pictures, Hope you get to the bottom of it. Kevin

Morning NRM.
I can't offer anything that will add to your post, except to say, I suspect that a picture, showing this badge, is a scarce item. Nice one. Regards Brian

Norfolk Volunteer Regiment
Hi All,
Following on from the above, I have this cast badge KK1668, with blades. It has the appearance of age but I'm wondering if it is genuine. Have these badges been faked in this way? Thanks, Tinto

Bank of England
Andrew, I think the bank of England may well be able to help you, I think they have a lot of archive material. When I worked in the print we did a lot of publicity leaflets which included early Rifle Volunteer pictures.

NVR Badge.
so, I have not yet found any more about this photo, so the next step is can we take a look at the shoulder title and have a guess.
Its cloth,ends with the letter B or R, and it has an edging, which must make it a bit easier to find, and its british. can anyone think of a cloth title that has all of the above.
