An old but interesting thread which I thought was the best place to show this photograph from my archives. Appears to show an Essex Regiment cap badge on the lapel of the suit jacket, unfortunately no identifying details as I remember.

Another postcard arrived showing the badge of the South Wales Borderers worn in the lapel and and what appears to be a cloth wound stripe sewn to the left cuff of his jacket. Studio details to the reverse for 'Sargent, 249 Holton Road, Barry'.

What an excellent and interesting thread!!! I have a patch that is still sewn to a piece of suit material and I suspect it is much the same. Here's a picture of my Drivers Qualification badge still sewn to a piece of navy blue pinstripe suit. Sorry it's not more clear, but you shoudl be able to see the pinstripes.

A really interesting thread, no doubt there are similar pictures of Australians.
Has there ever been a thread about British military groups wearing civilian badges on military uniform? I think we have only ever had a thread about Australian 'Accredited Organisations' (e.g. Red Cross, Comforts Fund, Salvos, Telcom, Campaigners For Christ, Naval Auxiliary Patrol) because of the Geneva Convention concerning capture in civilian dress near the front line. |

A cracking picture from Neil R. Storey’s ‘Norfolk in the Great War - A Pictorial History’(p.94):
IMG_7429.jpgIMG_7430.jpg Caption reads: ‘The future NCOs of the Norfolk Regiment Service Battalions; no uniforms yet but cap badges are worn with pride in the lapel and the all important stripes pinned to their sleeves.’ JT |
