Good badge
Hi Neil, in my opinion Your badge looks good to me, the centre scroll attachment on mine is the same as yours; semi circular. Does yours have evidence of a verticle shank being removed?
Best wishes Dave Moore. |

Style of G
Hi, I have been studying the three badges on this thread and comparing them with other Middlesex Regiment badges in my collection. I think that there is a lot of natural variation, particlarly in the style of the Laurel leaves and stalks below Albuhera, and some of the letters in the Middlesex scroll. Using these two criteria the three badges match in that they all have four well defined voids below Albuhera and the G in Regt has got a horizontal bar. Also of note is the absence of sweat holes behind the white metal parts. The base scroll is attached by three flanges, the two outside are roughly rounded triangular shapes and the central one is semi-circular.
Hope this helps Dave Moore. |

Hi David. Thanks, it's encouraging news to see some original badges. I am confident with mine, but would obviously prefer a slidered version.
Yes, there is clear evidence of mine having had one - it's the first time I have looked really closely. Cheers, Neil |

Hi David,
Welcome to the forum. Great thread and a great looking badge. Can I ask you, do you know where in Ireland your grandfathers came from? Bland is a very unusual name here, Moore far more common. I am always interested to hear about Irishmen in the army and even more interested in finding out how they ended up in some of the units they served with! Dave |
