Border Regiment - No Honours
I picked up this beautiful little SP Officers' forage cap badge recently, however does anyone know if it's a pre-South Africa VB or a Militia badge?
Thanks |

Yes, nice badge there Keith. I just picked up one too. An OR's with no honours.
It's outside my area of WW1, but as you say there's something about the Border regiment. Plus it was going for a song..... Regards Simon. |

I used to have the Border badge but yours looks a better strike, however I'm not 100% sure it actually existed in this form as I've had one with Honi Mal.... around the centre. Without digging out the books they may have had more than one Militia battalion who wore different badges but it needs investigating. |

I'll go with that. Their OSD collar badges are top quality. |

Nice collar with the Honi Soit motto. I would expect the cap badge to have the same motto. |
