1st Cadet Btn KRRC cap vs collar badge - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

It is my understanding this regiment wore no collar badges on service dress.

That being said Westlake has some collars listed…
I have seen similar badges (in size) voided and not voided under the Celer Et Audax tablet described as collar or cap badges.

What are the differences b/w cap and collar badges? Or are they the same?

Thanks!

What book of Ray Westlake's mentions collars?

That’ll probably be, ‘British Army Collar Badges 1881 to Present’, Pub. Arms & Armour - ISBN: 0853688958

Can’t see a mention in that book. However, Churchill ‘History of the British Army Infantry Collar Badge’ shows at 1473 and 1474 collar badges 1st Cadet Battalion K.R.R.C.

You are 100% correct. Wrong author cited…that’s the picture I saw in my copy of Churchill.
Was just wondering if the cap and collar badges where the same size or even the same badge.

My QC is only the size of a collar badge,but it has a slider fitting.

Thanks Mike! I appreciate the help. I figure they are all the same size.

There is only one size.
