I'd be most grateful if one of our button gurus could tell me what these buttons are please. I bought them thinking they were Aberystwyth OTC but there is no twist in the tail in the Aber example I have.
Thanks in advance.
Hwyl,

One thought I have is could it be one of the other colleges of UoW, possibly Cardiff as this is where I picked them up.

I thought they normally wore something akin to the SWB

What about the school?

It's certainly a possibility.

According to Howard Ripley in his article in the August 1976 MHS Bulletin.
Monmouth School was one of the contingents treated as Rifles, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, they are assumed to have worn the universal Rifle button.
