The Lincolnshire regt.
Hi all, what’s the regimental colours for the Lincolnshire regt, or what colour is there badge backing. Thanks Andrew

Badge backing's a red/black (or a black over red, can't remember which) diagonally divided rectangle.
I can't find photos of "my" badge backings, one loose, one sewn on to a dark blue beret. Red uppermost, from bottom left to top right corner. Kelly's sells them as red and a definite blue rather than black. My loose badge and backing: Last edited by leigh kitchen; 30-09-18 at 07:39 AM. Reason: Image added, sentences in wrong order. |

The backing to the badge was only introduced post-war for wear on the blue beret.

Unfortunately I can't make out any markings on this beret, but the badge backing looks original to the beret. Like my other example, the "blue" of the backing is in fact black. |

Apologies for veering off topic but it isn't just badge backings that are afflicted by misinterpretation of the shade of blue by those who reproduce them.

This is confusing me a bit. Trusted and knowledgeable members on here quite reasonably showing red over black backing, yet there's recent (ish) photos online of Lincolnshire Regiment veterans wearing red over blue?
