Thanks Dave. I have that book but I haven't a clue where it is. Did you find any information in there about the white metal Rose of 106 RHA (Lancs Hussars) How would you tell the different units collars apart? or are they generic?

Billy, Colin`s book only deals with infantry so Yeomanry not covered. There are differences in the size and style but not something i could describe. Have you a collar badge you are wanting to research? Post a scan and i will look it up.
Cheers, Dave

Thanks Dave,
I've attached a photo of the badge. It's about the size of a 50p, but I'll get the approximate measurement tomorrow Billyh |
