Smile unknown buttons

hi there
i have been clearing out a relatives belongings and came across some buttons
which i can find no information about
on the reverse it says hobson & sons, lexington street, london nw
on the front there is a lion standing on top of a crown with the letters RG or RC under that, with a wreath around the outer edge
curiosity is getting the better of me and i would love to know more
thank you

Very difficult to respond without a photo as there are so many possibilities.

Try uploading a photo and we will see what we can do.

Bit of a long shot but is it this one by any chance? If so, it is the Gloucestershire Regiment, although the crown on yours may be a bit different it is the same regiment.

Unless I've gone totally daft, that's exactly the same as the one I showed earlier - The Gloucestershire Regiment.
