Shoulder Titles - A Surprising Year

[Roy]

Greeting Lads & Lasses,

A we round of the year, like many I often reflect on some of the finds throughout the last 12 months and I for one certainly have no complaints as some lovely treasures have come my way. However and perhaps the most surprising is the three shoulder titles shared here. I must confess that I have never really gotten too excited about shoulder titles and to my embarrassment have perhaps viewed them as somewhat of a 'plain Jane' in the badge world - not any more I'm pleased to say, as these three rare Shropshire related shoulder titles have all been added to my collation during 2016 and I couldn't be happier.

A) 13th (Shropshire) Company, 5th Battalion Imperial Yeomanry (also used as a Slouchy badge).
B) 11th Company (Oswestry High School) 1st Cadet Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry (I have a pair).
C) Shropshire Territorial Royal Horse Artillery 1908 - 1921 (just arrived).

Can I ask the membership if You have had any nice 'shoulder title' finds this year? And if the answer is affirmative and you would like to share your best 2016 S/T's here, then I for one would love to see them.

Cheerio and here's hoping for some marvelous discoveries in 2017...

Cheerio,

Roy

It's a long way from Shropshire, but donated by the widow of Maj Gordon Laverick of the Central India Horse 1938-1947 (Iraq, Western Desert, Italy and Greece)

Hi Jerry,

That's a really lovely group there, well done and great to see.

Just when I though I had gotten all my 2016 titles, this little beauty just arrived in the mail not twenty minutes ago.

Cheerio,

Roy

Lovely shoulder title Roy. Here are s few of my recent finds that I particularly like. Cheers, Ian.

Hi Ian,

Absolutely splendid old chap.

Canadian shoulder titles can be some of the nicest designed examples out there.

Well done!
