Default Infantry Brigades/Depot Badges
I am slowly collecting all the different cap badges that were used when all infantry regiments wore Brigade cap badges. Out of fourteen different badges I have ten. Out of the four remaining I have identified two and am unsure about two.
I am sure there was no badge for the guards regiments, each retaining their own badges?
And I cannot find a separate badge specific for the Light Infantry, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom

No badge for the Guards, the LI Brigade badge was as per the later LI regiment but without the red backing.

Photo is of a badged Brigade era cap, dated 1964.
