2ND (SOUTH CANTERBURY) REGIMENT lugs vs slider

[ubervamp]

Hi

I've come across this badge in both lugged and slidered version, both pertaining to be WW1 era.
Was the slidered worn by OR's?

Cheers

Hi Colin

I have never seen a 2nd Canterbury with a slider. I will be interested to hear others' comments on this?

Hi John

Typo deluxe. I meant 1st Canterbury!

Sorry for the confusion-

Hi Colin,
As John has said, 2nd Canterbury Regiment badge has lugs, I've not seen one with a slider.
However, 1st Canterbury Regiment badge is found with lugs or with a slider.
Both type badges were worn by O/Rs and officers.
Cheers, Tinto

Hi Colin

Like Tinto, I have also come across 1st Canterbury badges, especially the economy brass type, with a slider. The other NZ badge I have commonly seen with a slider is the brass 10th Otago Rgt.
