Not for the cap badge as the design was the same.

According to Westlake the plain LF with a separate grenade was worn until 1916 when the one piece LgrenadeF was introduced. It remained in use until the 1960s when it changed to gold and silver adonised.

Thank you very much. The cap badge I had before. I just received a group of 5 (Yorkshire Dragoons, Canada RA, RA, Hertfordshire Regt., and the LF collar). The seller understood them to be WWI.
