Default 1916 RWF Soft Cap and Flash

A near unissued 1916 pattern soft cap to the RWF that came with the soldier's 'Flash'. Sadly not named.

Regards

Mark

The soldier in question was at least a sergeant on the battalion staff. The flash was not worn in SD by other ranks in the companies.

A sergeant, appointed to the staff post as sergeant cook asked if he would qualify for the flash, according to Dr Dunn's history.
