Unknown title badge WVRC
Hi all
Any idea what this is? Searched the site and found the Canadian connection but I don’t think this one fits. The staffs knot is integral to the badge. Cheers BC |

I would think it a WW1 VTC shoulder title, probably Wolverhampton Volunteer Rifle Corps.

Yours is typical of a WW1 VTC unit shoulder title. It may be another version of the one in the OP, or some other one Walsall, Warwick etc, but its not of the original RVC era, more WW1 era. regards

Hi simon, yep my fault, I was not very clear, 1860 was when they formed, and I guess disbanded 1908 ish, but I am with you, it’s more likely a vtc unit
