Default Seeking Army Veterinary Department

Can anyone help please with a good quality image of a QVC Army Veterinary Department button? The officer only corps of that period was very small so not that many buttons with the QVC could have been made. The intent is to illustrate the button freely visible on the uniformology.com website.

Default Army Veterinary Department QVC

Hello Toby,

Are you still looking for an image of this button.

I found one in my collection.

I have attached front and back images of this officers 25mm gilt button made by Hobson & Sons, Lexington St. London.

Yes I am! Thank you so much. I will ensure your image is used to replace the current one that we were forced to recreate by software manipulation. See: http://www.uniformology.com/INSIGNIA-11.html

We have had to do the same thing with the Garrison Staff button (laurel wreath edge, with etched horizontal lines within), so help with that would also be greatly appreciated.

We’ve nearly finished the series, which has been an epic labour of love, and which could not have been completed without the help of several members of this forum. We just have shoulder belt pouches and sabretaches to do and the series will be completed. To our knowledge it’s the first time that insignia and ancillaries from the 1883 Dress Regulations that followed the Cardwell/Childers Reforms have ever been illustrated. Something that not even the National Army Museum has done.
