1st pattern Herefordshire LI - collars (1964 - 66)
Gents, amongst a small car boot haul earlier, unbelievably came across this pair of first pattern anodised alluminium Herefordshire Light Infantry collars ( sealed in Oct 1964 - see Churchills).
The smaller collars we are familiar with, were introduced in 1966. I have never seen another pair and would be interested if any other members have a set. It is my understanding from another forum member, that the regimental museum in Hereford state that these do not exist. Churchill states they were made by W M Dowler - and potentially were the only run made of these short lived collar badges. Regards all Bess |

I have contacted the Herefordshire Light Infantry museum, requesting any information ( or otherwise) that they may have on the wear and use of these collar badges.
I await a response. |

Attached a fairly swift reply from the Museum. It would appear that they may have been worn on No.1 dress . . .
Not completely convinced they really knew anything specific about these anodised collars. Not the comprehensive reply I was hoping for, from the 'curator'. However, at least we know that they do exist. Regards all Bess Last edited by bess55; 14-05-21 at 08:22 AM. |
