Ginger didn't get a second badge but he did get a second certificate, which may have made him unique to go along with being mad. |

JT: I will have to dig for the 1903 reference but will do so. I fear that the pattern numbers were beyond my interest in the long ago when I did the research ....... the hobby has moved on!
My odds and sods are in the attic, only the good stuff is in my study. Next time I ascend I will fight the tarantulas and look. One unofficial cloth badge that I recall is clearly cut from KD sewn on an SD backing and with hooks [as in hooks and eyes] to attach to uniform. |

Yes, they sound very interesting.

Indeed, a lovely collection you have there, the large examples do seem really quite scarce things these days.

If the larger badges were withdrawn circa 1907, it may certainly go some way to account for the relative scarcity of them, but, where does this information come from?

Not sure that he is a Wilts Yeoman? Their cap badge was white metal until post 1947. If you look at his buttons he has a mix of GS on the pockets and Hussars half balls on the jacket opening. The shoulder title looks straight.

Could somebody with access to actual examples, or official records, provide dimensions for these badges; larger and smaller patterns, please?

In any case I have seen a photo [tunic order]of a scout wearing the badge with white backing to match his facing colour. |

G'day Guys
I have both the Scout badges with and without bars but don't have both sizes of the 2, nor do I have a Queen's Scout badge that I earned as a Senior Scout but do have several different examples in my Scout Badge collection. However I do have a copy of the small red fabric covered copy of Gale & Polden's Military Series, Aids to Scouting for N.-C.-Os. & Men By Lieut.-Gen. R.S.S. Baden- Powell dated 1909.This is a second edition. The book is 4 3/4" wide by 5 3/4" high and has 178 pages with a few small drawings but no illustration of the badges them selves or any information as to how and where to wear them. I hope that this helps. Regards Phil. |
