Loyal United West and East Ham Volunteers
In many years of collecting I have only found three items to the Loyal United West and East Ham volunteers, two medals and a snuff box, what else is there please?...
Thank you for looking, Keith

Keith,
The Volunteer Act 1794 created many of these local units along with Local Militia, Supplementary Militia and Armed Associations. Any insignia from this period that I see consists mainly of Shoulder Belt Plates and buttons which leads me to the conclusion that head dress badges werent worn in many cases. regards
