Kings County Militia
Getting a little faded but still a good little photo. I don't collect in this area so I have not much Idea about the unit. Not much to be found on line. Hope you like the image.

The lineage can be seen here: Militia King's County - ....
There is also an illustration there that should match the scroll badge on the pill box cap he has on his knee.

Thats the 1st time I've seen that sort of badge in an actual headdress.
Thanks for showing. Andy

A nice photo.
Not doubting your attribution but I presume there is some annotation to the reverse to make it identifiable as King’s County Militia and not one of the many others who wore a similar scroll badge? As you say not a lot online so I’m unaware of uniform distinctions. |

Hello Luke. Nothing on the back old chap. But that might not help anyway as any notation, unless in the hand of the period (or even then) could be inaccurate. I based my assumption on the shape of the badge because as I said, I don't have much knowledge of the unit. Interesting to know that there were other similar shaped badges to other units. Perhaps you could post one or two for comparison?
At the moment I'm happy to go with King's County, still based on the badge, but would be happy to be proved wrong, and have a positive I'd based on maybe uniform also. The big problem is there isn't much online information I have come across to do that myself. Perhaps someone on the forum who specialises in militia could help? Billyh |
