Light Infantry rank insignia

[Bill A]

A tunic in Canada has stirred some controversy. It is a pre-1914 British red tunic badged to the 106th Winnipeg Light Infantry. It has sergeant's chevrons that appear to be RAF / RCAF colour (light blue on dark blue). It has been established this was correct for the WLI.
My question, is there such a practice, likely pre-1914, in British light infantry regiments to wear such blue rank insignia? Badge backings?

[Alan O]

I have never heard of such.

Only the standard white worsted or gold tape, both on scarlet were worn by British LI regiments at that time.

Agreed regarding plain white stripes. A GS infantry pattern and also used on cuffs inverted as good conduct badges. See enclosed image of drummers tunic.
