British Military Lanyards
Following up on the interest in lanyards in recent posts here is my starter. I do not collect lanyards but find that I have eleven picked up mainly in job lots with other badges over the last 50 years!
A number are unidentified so help from members would be appreciated. I also post an extract from the 2004 JSP which describes lanyards approved at that time. Note that not all were ordnance issue - but it does not say which. I also have the NSNs and descriptions of more lanyards (again recent) and will post later. Tim A = Blue = Queen's Regiment ? B = Gold and Black = ? C = Blue = RE or Royal Signals D = Cherry = RAMC ? E = Maroon and Dark Yellow = South Staffordshire Regiment

do you have access to Osprey Elite Series no. 14, The British Army in the 1980's? Pages 59 & 60 have details on lanyards. Some input from that publication, Green & Black - 6 & 7 Gurkhas (WOs, Staff Sgts, Sgts & Cpls) Black-Green -Scarlet 4 Greenjackets (NCOs) Amber & Black (perhaps your gold & black) - D Coy. 1 Yorkshire (sgts & above) there are many units listed as various shades of blue, Dark Blue, Blue no's 2, 3, 7, 10 & 14 (I do not know my shades of blue well enough to diferentiate between them). If you do not have the publication and would like a copy of the section on lanyards PM me your contact details and I will oblige. John Last edited by John Mulcahy; 15-07-13 at 02:54 AM.

Lanyards
John,
Thank you. I do have that publication and will have a look. You are correct on colour shades which are difficult to discern and also fade. Here is a photo of a selection of Intelligence Corps cypress green lanyards with a number of colour variations. Tim

I have posted these before but do so again to keep as much information as possible on lanyards together in one thread.
Top lanyard -5th Kings Liverpools in the old volunteer colours green,black and silver, introduced for wear on the battledress in 1950`s. Bottom lanyard- 6th Kings Liverpools in green and red ( I have another example of this lanyard which is thinner ) not sure of precise dates it was in use but believed pre 1936 and throughout WW2. P.B.
