Stumped by Scottish (?) yeomanry (?) badge

[Charm_City]

Folks,

I’ve been asked by a family friend if I can identify the regiment of a soldier in some WW1 photos of a relative – and I’ve had to admit defeat. So I would be very grateful if anybody could identify the badge, worn as both a collar dog and a cap badge, in the attached.

Clues?

- The guy was Scottish (from the Edinburgh region)

- The guard mounting photo is a postcard, dated Sep 15 and sent from Cupar in Fife.

- There are other men, not in the crop I’ve attached, also wearing the TF ‘Imperial Service’ badge.

- The family say the guy later served in the Scots Greys – although I can’t find a medal card for him, the family has a (poor-ish quality) photograph taken in France of a section on grey horses all wearing a cap badge that could well be Scots Greys.

So I’m thinking yeomanry in 1915 in Fife – Lowland Mounted Brigade? But none of the reference books I can lay my hands on show a badge resembling this for any constituent of the LMB, or any other Scottish yeomanry regiment, or indeed anything that looks right.

Over to the experts, with thanks in advance – and an awful feeling the answer is really obvious ….

Isn't that the Queens Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry??

The first picture is very interesting as it is pre 1940 but there is no mention in any book that I have read of the collar badge being used as a cap badge before WW2 and the move to Berets.

Folks,

thanks very much inded. There actually is a medal card for the right name in the QO Royal Glasgow Yeomanry.

Everyhting I had seen for QO Royal Glasgow Yeomanry showed a cap badge of oak(?) leaves summounted by the lion/crown. But this is the collar badge, used as a cap badge, right?

If anybody would like a decent .jpg of the guard mounting showing the badge in use as a cap badge, please let me know.

Again, thanks
