Griff,
By an amazing coincidence Matt Crinyion made the same mistake on the GWF. Peter

My uncle , William Jones , served with the 24th (DH) RWF in Palestine and France , sometime while in France he was transferred to the 11th Cheshire and died at Messines in 1918. I have just been following this thread on the Great War Forum and see that there is a note on there os a member of !! Cheshire living with a 24th RWF member, I wonder if a draft was sent from the 24th RWF to the 11th Cheshires. Incidentally my grandfather (Taid) James Jo0nesw was ex DH who was in 23rd RWF he died Xmas Day 1915 in the UK and is buried in Llangollen with a RWF badge on the headstone.

Was it 3158 (345384) W Jones?
A few from the DHY also transferred to the Shropshire LI as well.... I was also reading in another place that the DHY recruited as far as Lancashire?

Sergeant James Crinyion in 1916... dismounted DHY still in the UK and probably taken in Worlingham Camp, Suffolk. This photo is proof that the NCO arm badge (worsted/cloth) was worn during WW1.

RSM James Crinyion, 24th (DHY) Btn RWF..... note how the White/green flash is worn on the arm. This image "corrects" the NAM document stating that it was worn green over white.
* Note also that in this photo..... he only has 3 service bars and his cap badge scrolls (ich dien) have not been turned upwards. So this is probably a photo of him in 1918.

Griff,
could this possibly be an example of the elusive ORs Bim badge? No sign of there ever having been a base scroll and it looks more DHY than Wilts Yeo? It looks very "Lambourne-ish" too? Andy

I would guess that the same dies would be used for most regiments wearing POW feathers but possibly different materials or finishes. I can't imagine the dress committee differentiating between turned up or flat scrolls, they would simply state POW feathers. It's noticeable in the photo of the RSM that although the scrolls on the cap badge are fairly flat the collar badges are definitely turned up.

Do you think those two examples you have shown are by the same maker? They are clearly different dies. That bronze is only seen in the 2nd/1st DHY.

Griff,
Yes they are obviously from different dies, and they could or could not be from the same maker? I never assume a maker unless it is clearly stamped on the badge/slider. The Ich Dien scrolls and their angle varies, however what is distinctive of the DHY badge apart from most others that use the POW device is the narrow coronet. Andy
