Somerset LI Pagri badges
All,
Recently obtained this badge and note that there are apparently two types; one with XIII (13) and one with the standard PA within the strings. Any ideas on the significance (if any) of these two styles? Thanks much, CB |

Different periods of use. There is a Boer War SLI Pith helmet in the regtl museum with one of these one.
The PA was worn in WW2 on the slouch hat I believe. |

Thanks for that Alan, I thought my badge ( or rather Flash ) to of an earlier type.
With regard to Pagri Flashes in general, I suspect that ww2 era examples usually have the design or letters etc. machine embroidered as opposed to the hand stitched work on earlier examples. CB |

Another example with Indian maker's label and a soldier of the 4th Bn with a variation.

I note that the two examples shown are by the same Madras maker! I assume these are ww2 era flashes as the PA would indicate....
Were they stationed in the Madras area at some time? CB |
