Books on buttons and collar badges?
Hi All,
I've got lots of books on badges and Westlake's work on Shoulder Titles but I am flying blind on collars and buttons. 1. What are the definitive works on collar badges? 2. Ditto buttons? 3. My Westlake edition is 1980. Is there anything new out there picking up after this period on shoulder titles? Thanks and best wishes, Tom Last edited by TomPC; 04-10-21 at 08:54 PM. |

Tom,
Colin Churchill produced a book on Infantry collar badges, worth buying. Gwen Squire also has a book on buttons which covers various aspects apart from military such as Fire Brigade, Prison etc. Rob |

Ripley (solo or with others e.g. Darmanin, Moodie) should have you covered for buttons wherever your interests may lie:
Regular Army 1855 - 2000 ISBN 0-9524461-1-1 Militia (Scotland, Wales, Channel Islands) ISBN 978-0-9524461-3-2 Local Militia ISBN 0-9524461-2-X Yeomanry ISBN 0-9510603-8-4 There may be more by him - Googling above will likely throw them up too. EY |
