Good reference?

[Bill A]

My knowledge of Commonwealth insignia needs to be improved, and I am looking for standard references for badges of different Dominions. Is this a good standard reference for New Zealand badges?

What other references should one have in their library? Corbett's book is nearly 30 years old, should it still be included?

countries during WWI.

Bill,
I don't have it with me - its in Hamburg, but its the one that covers all the Commonwealth and Dominion countries - including the English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish regiments. If it helps, the cover is a very dark brown or black.
It could be W.Cox?

Thanks David, I have the Cox reference, but there are apparently two references for New Zealand badges by themselves, one by Corbett and one by Oldham. These were the ones that I was interested in learning about.

Bill,
If I was more flush I'd get that book. The picture's of the contents he
shows with the item look good to me.
