Chaplain shoulder title
Hi All
This cast and sadly missing a lug Chaplains shoulder title came to light 2 weeks back in a box of WW1 to WW2 era badges, with a few other odds and ends. I dont have it as it belongs to a friend of mine and we have been speculating on its origins. Clearly cast and rough is this a possible Indian produced badge, as there were a number of Indian Army badges in the box that came from a house clearance and into a second hand store where my friend purchased this box of badges. Any help will be appreciated. Regards Brian |

Thanks Stephen
That is interesting. Will pass this info on to the owner. We have also been told on the FB BBF site it might be Indian? Brian |

I have one too and seen them it described as 'Trench Art' / 'Trench Made' although that covers a multitude of sins. I have no further information.

I'm embarassed to say I'm not quite sure what arrangements were made for the spiritual welfare of the British [Christian] officers in the old IA but certainly there were no regimental chaplains for them. A puzzle. |

My guess would be British Chaplain in Khaki Drill in India

Hi
I saw one many years ago and was told that it was WW1, desert made, much like many of the caps/ collars and titles cast in the "soukh".... |

The Christians in the Indian Army had the military branch of the Indian Ecclesiastical Establishment attached for their spiritual uplift, guidance and welfare.
