Default 1st Essex Engineer Volunteer Corps
A recent pick up, an other rank belt and belt plate to the 1st Essex Engineer Volunteer Corps.

A short lived unit, formed December 1861 and disbanded in 1871.

Can anyone help as to what headdress badge(s) they might have worn? From Westlake's book it would suggest the busby and therefore the universal pattern RE Volunteer fused grenade. Or perhaps given they had their own belt design there might be a unit-specific pattern?

Any information gratefully received.
