Evening Gents,
Hope you all enjoyed Father's day!! I went to Bushey fair today, just picked up 3 shoulder titles, Herts, Signal Service & one of these RI which I was very pleased to get as it pairs up nicely with the one I have & makes a nice little set with the badge, now for the collars!!! All 3 were very cheap too which makes it even better

Cheers,
Wilf.

Was this title also worn by OR's? I recall seeing a pic of a Lance/Cpl in 1899 wearing the same title.
