WW1 Liverpool Irish boss badge
Interesting photo of a private in the Liverpool Irish being sold on E bay, he is wearing an officers boss badge in his cap:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW1-soldi...53.m1438.l2649 I have seen another picture before of this practice but it still surprises me that it could happen. P.B.

Could he have a WO badge on his sleeve out of shot?

Studio portrait and using a studio cap?

Unlikely as the tunic is very personalised with those badges so it's not a prop and he must have had a hat to wear with the uniform to travel there.

Here is the other picture I have of a soldier wearing the officers boss badge.

Interesting as that appears to be mid war when the other is 1918/19.

Total shot in the dark, could they be worn by an Officer's Batman?
