Default Durban Mounted Rifles title?
Hi All,

does anyone perhaps have a Durban Mounted Rifles title, if there was one? There is no mention in Owens

TIA

Iain

Iain,

I stand to be corrected, but as the DMR was amalgamated with the NMR in 1888, and pre general use of shoulder titles, I suspect there was never one.

Thanks, there isn't one in Owen's; someone has a title which I say is Die Middellandse Regt but he claims it's Durban MR

If it is a D over MR, than definitely 'Die Middellandse Regt'

Ask if you can post a picture to get confirmation...

Hi Frank,

he reckons it's a cut out badge so it must be old
