Default Cheshire Regiment flash?
A recent purchase: apparently a Cheshire Regiment formation sign, but according to my sources the Cheshire Regt sign is a diamond divided vertically, no horizontally. In addition, this flash has an embroidered acorn and oak leaves. Could it be some sort of Battalion distinction? Home Guard formation sign? Any hints, gentlemen?

Is it not a Cadet Force?

As a matter of interest has anyone any proof that the badge was actually worn, I have a couple of the same badge which I have had for many years. I was a Cheshire cadet in the early 60's and never wore it and I have never seen it worn. The example in the photo is either 4th or 7th Battalions T.A. the 1st would have worn cerise to the front. The other photo is of Cheshire cadets circa late 1920's, just thought I would share it as it shows a two piece S/T.
If anyone has a photo of it being worn I would be very pleased to see it.

I have seen it described as a WW I sign. I have looked at my references and I can not find it.
