Lincolnshire Regt
I wonder if anyone is able to offer a suggestion about the badge in the photo. It is an enlargement from a named group of officers of the 4th Bn dated 1893. Although I may be mistaken, it looks as if there is a device below the scroll. All comments welcome.
Many thanks, MAP |

It is the Sphinx collar badge and the only thing I can think of to be attached below the Egypt tablet would be a 4 or a M for Militia, but both sound unlikely to me, so really I am unsure.

It looks like it could be the Lincoln Imp.

Looks to be the wrong shape for an imp which is longer than its width sorry. It looks as per Simon's suggestion like a Lincs collar badge but I too have not seen anything worn below these when worn on the FSC, cheers Dean

Not that I know what the blob under the Sphinx is, when magnified it does look taller than it is wide.

I am stumped as well. I am also not sure that this is Lincolnshire either, as so many others wore the Sphinx in various incarnations. I might add that the tail up on the Sphinx in the photo is like that worn by the Dorsets.

Otherwise I was going to tentatively suggest possibly East Lancs, a sphinx above rose, not that I know of such a badge.

Leigh, I meant the whole badge looked like it might be the Lincoln Imp.

Well if that is the case, this is a mystery photo. The Sphinx is not the Lincoln style, so the attribution may indeed be incorrect.

Black Rifle Volunteers buttons on the cap? The names of the officer's shown in the photo may help identify the unit. The Royal South Lincolnshire Militia formed the 4th Lincolnshire Regiment but I take it they wouldn't have had the Sphinx as insignia? |

Lincolnshire Regt
Thank you all for your thoughts.
Simon, I too had considered the idea of the letter 'M' but thought that it was already used on the epaulettes. As for the number '4', I can't dismiss it, but I have never seen such used, which doesn't mean it wasn't. Hoot, The idea of the 'Lincoln Imp' had never crossed my mind but I thought that it was a later device. I attach an extract from the 1893 Army List for additional information but cannot for the moment upload the complete image. The names of the officers as listed on the photo are, Lt. C A Pelham Lt H T Timson Capt W G Grant Lt E K Cordeaux 2nd Lt J A Cole 2nd Lt C R Nevill |

An Edward Kyme Cordeaux was an officer in the Lincolnshire Regiment and Labour Corps prior to and during WWI.
(An EK Cordeaux (a South African) served in a South African unit during the Boer War). |
