Default Recently Aquired First West Riding Artillery Volunteers.
Good Evening Gents,
Could Any member please help with the identification of this recently aquired " First West Riding Artillery Volunteers " belt/pouch badge. The seller was of the opinion that in all probability the belt/pouch badge was from a Leeds based unit possibly because of the inclusion of the open winged Owl as shown in the photo`s.
I would appreciate any information from members that would help to identify the regiment/unit and the date of the badge.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Regards Andy.
