Battalion badges of the London Regiment - Great War
Hi all,
Getting there on a representative Great War 1914/16 set of cap badges and shoulder titles to the battalions of the London Regiment. Trying to cover all ultimately as County of London titles. My thanks again to Longdog (Pat B.) for scouting a good number of these for me, any spares members might have would love to hear from you via PM, cheers Dean. |

Talk about not seeing the wood for the trees Simon - surprising that I even got the numbered ones in the correct order !
Cheers Dean |

I have included the war raised Battalions 29-34 in my display. They wore the RF, RB and KRRC badges.

Thanks Alan I have had little knowledge of these additional badges until your reply. What shoulder titles did they wear - the parent regiment ? Cheers Dean

The cap badges for the 17th and 19th battalions are occupying each other's positions too. I see Dean, that you have included the 27th Battalion, but not the 26th. JT Last edited by Jelly Terror; 23-05-17 at 11:58 AM. |

Thanks JT,
Ok maybe next time I put badges on a board I might put my glasses on. Shall correct - put 25th and 28th on but not 26th or 27th? Cheers Dean |

The 26th and 27th never actually joined the London Regiment so they do not belong on it if you are being pure. The WW1 raised battalions are little known about as they had a short existence and have been forgotten by the badge collecting books.
