On 04/08/1914 my great grandfather William Adams 1/5th Notts & Derby Regiment moved to Harpenden .Also at Harpenden were 1st/6th South Staffords from Burton on trent.....could it be possible that the photographer travelled with them/was in Harpenden at this time and the actual photograph is miscaptioned ?
I dont doubt for a minute that the cap badge is of the Hertfordshire regiment and i can find no reference from various online sources of them ever having been to Burton I suppose we'll never know ! and thank you fror the quick responses |

Ref the photo (which is actually a print of a print ),I found it totally by chance on fleabay along with two others that show what appears to be a butts party at the rifle range which is not far from the bottom of my garden.Seller is barrie161166 and listing title was ''Unknown army troop Burton on Trent Staffordshire'' |

Obviously the Herts lads would definitely of been in Harpenden, could of been some Herts Lads befriending the Notts & Derby / South Staffs lads and taken a picture with there kit and a name plaque ??? You never know might of been another picture of the Notts & Derby/ South Staffs lads taken with a Herts reference plaque done and swapped for a keep sake or the like?? Just a thought. Gerard

Isn't the "Reginald Bott" wording just a transparent panel adding the photographer's name to the print, rather than wording stencilled on a piece of kit?

I can not mean "4th Battailon, The Hertfordshire Regiment", because that never existed.
