Looking at the feed seems as if most Welsh region s/t covered, someone should do a book on them as probably all the Welsh collectors together have everyone.
A few more to add. Looking forward to more uploads Jonathan DSC07348 (1).jpgDSC07350 (1).jpg DSC07351 (1).jpgDSC07352 (1).jpg DSC07354 (1).jpgDSC07355 (1).jpg DSC07369 (1).jpg |

Outstanding collection Jonathan. Yours is far more extensive than mine. I should have explained my criteria. I sought shoulder titles and badges that would have been worn on service dress of combatant units during WW1 only. Hence my interest in the cloth and the temporary badges too. I do not aspire to a such a complete collection as you have. Wales‘ participation in WW1 is my great interest.

Jon.
That's the bug when you start collecting, should specialise in one field/regiment/area like you and Dave (Eddie) who both have superb collections (not to mention others, they know who they are) as I'm never going to finish my collection but will just keep adding to it. Have copied that badge for you and also that rpc showing variant of the temporary cap badge (post marked 21 Ju 1915).

10th and 11th SWB. The latter was worn post war by Cadets too.

Hello Jon,
Well that’s made my evening just viewing your collection 😁. think your choice of layout is stunning and sets off the collection superbly. Some very challenging titles to find shown there and reckon it’s a great achievement, worth all those years to complete and what an interesting and informative journey it must have been. You know it’s good when Jonathan says he wouldn’t mind a couple -high praise indeed😂!! Jonathan, only joking and always appreciate seeing more of you and the Old Mans stunning collection. Eddie, enjoyed seeing them Monmouth titles again sir, it’s just showing off having 2 OTC patterns / finishes 😂. Jon, couple of points for possible thought: RAMC: 1st Welsh Divisional Field Ambulance: Another pattern of this title exists with Monmouthshire scroll. Not certain of the significance if it relates to a different period of wear? Sure Eddie is the man to comment on anything Monmouth related. RAMC: South Wales Mounted Brigade Field Ambulance: Was a T RAMC South Wales title worn as well ? Sure (?) many years back I saw an example. Additionally, There was a badly put together example in the Professor Thomas collection. RAMC: Welsh Border Mounted Brigade Field Ambulance: Was a 2piece RAMC Welsh Border title worn as well ? Welsh Guards: There are 2 different size shoulder titles that exist, larger pattern shown in Westlake. I believe the smaller (scarcer) pattern worn by officers. Be interested in thoughts on any of these points, be good to learn more or find out if I’m wide of the target - nothing new there 🙄 Fantastic to see Jon, some of the insignia shown there so rarely appears on the radar and you’ve really done them proud with that display. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes Pat |

Thanks so much for this. For the MONMOUTHSHIRE as opposed to MONMOUTH on the 1st Welsh Div Field Amb, I'm also not sure whethere there is any significance in the difference - I'm inclined to think not and that they used both, but its a fascinating question. As is the existence or otherwise of T/RAMC/SOUTH WALES. There is a a hazy thought in the back of my mind that I've seen one, but in separates on a backing plate. When it comes to titles with SOUTH WALES in its hard to determine whether they refer to the old South Wales Brigade before being broken up or the South Wales Mounted Brigade. On the Welsh Border RAMC I've certainly not seen one together as a title. Perhaps Jonathan has? The Welsh Border Mounted Brigade is a little out of scope for me. Thanks too on the Welsh Guards. I'm inclined to go with the WG and Leek together for the display. Do you know if there was any change in the design of the leek between WW1 and WW2 at all? Best regards Jon |

Those boards are very nice indeed, a time consuming and expensive labour of love I suspect.

Afternoon Jon/Pat.
Only have a two part ASC South Wales and RAMC Welsh Border in the collection, can't remember seeing all one T RAMC but they are probably out there. Pat (if reading apologies for not replying) the Connaught Rangers badge in the SWB frame is because when they mutinied in India in 1920 the SWB were sent into round them up (grandfather being 6 foot 4 inches and heavy weight boxer) but when told to organise a firing squad they refused, so some London regiment came in and shot the ring leaders. Copied up some more rpc that maybe of interest and some more s/t to continue the feed. RWF with 38th Div patch, WG, Monmouthshire T2 and T ASC W.B.M.B (1911 Newton Camp, Porthcawl). And just for Pat a pair of bronze Welsh s/t. Very nice officers bronze MYC badge but still doesn't go with the T Y Mont (about 10+ years out). Keep up the collecting (just bought another badge to add as lockdown can't stop the need to collect) and the joy it brings.

Thanks for replied on those enquiries, interested to read that. I too think the Monmouthshire title is a variant pattern but do not know for sure. be interested to hear other views about that and the South Wales and Welsh Border. Welsh Guards titles as mentioned, each have 3 hex lugs: Large pattern: 67mm Small pattern: 36mm Best wishes Pat |
