Default Which Cap Badge?

The chap in the photo below is wearing the T/RFA/London shoulder title... would I be correct in thinking that he would have worn the 'Fifth London' Royal Field Artillery cap badge?

With thanks,

Peter.

I would have thought? but I am no way near anything even closely resembling anything like knowledgeable. I believe the Fifth London RFA Brigade badge is quite debated.

That shoulder title was worn from 1908-1921 by members of the 2nd to 8th London Bdes and 1st/4th London Bde and 5th/8th London Bde. Therefore the Laurel scroll cap badge (1908-1917) or the standard cap badge (1917/8-) could be worn.
