Help with Bedford insignia
I am currently sorting Bedford insignia which I have had for a while, all the items came together and there are some that I am not 100% familiar with, so any pointers welcomed.
1 Ordinary Bedfordshire Regt buttons 2 Bedfordshire Regt buttons are these silver gilt officers quality? 3 KC in a wreath are these military? 4 Large "T" for wear under collar badge 5 Smaller "T" for wear under collar badge, why was this worn and by who? 6 Small white metal "T" for wear under collar badge with diagonal lines, who wore this? 7 Small gilt "T" for wear under collar badge with diagonal lines, who wore this? 8 G/M pips 9 Silver gilt pip, who wore this? 10 and 11 Two collar badges, who wore the smaller badge? Many thanks for looking Rob |

The small false embroidery type T were sometimes worn on the shoulder straps of mess dress or blue patrols if bullion wire was not.
All of the buttons appear to be officer, the reverse would confirm. CB

The crown in wreath buttons are Lord Lieutenant / Deputy Lord Lieutenant of a county.

Unknowns
Thanks chaps for your thoughts, these all belonged to a family with a long history of service both to the military and the county, so Lord Lieutenant fits in well.
