Inniskilling Dragoons 1887 Arm Badge
Hi All
Last year I purchased (at great expense) an 1887 arm badge which belonged to the RSM of the Inniskillings. I have researched him as far as possible but now I would like to find out more about the actual badge itself. Does any Forum Member have any information regarding the history of this badge. I have read what Messers Liniker and Dine and Seaman have to say in their excellent books but surely there must be more information than that around. Old photo's, articles from bygone magazines, reference material,etc. Can anyone help?? Regards Bob. |

Front of Badge. As far as I'm aware there are only 7 or 8 known examples of this badge. All are engraved in the same fashion and all (except mine) have the army serial number of the owner on the rear. Perhaps the RSM didnt feel he needed his number on it! Regards Bob. |

1887 Arm Badge
Hi
Thanks for sharing photo's of these teriffic badges. Between them Linaker+Dine and Seaman were able to identify six named badges. Namely Gardiner,Godwin,Briggs,Wild,Lee,and Harvey. Forum members have now added three new names to this list. Bramley,Hunter and Lackie. I think that's quite an achievement!!!! Anybody else have an unknown badge???? Regards Bob. |

Hi All
Reviving this old post... Does anyone perhaps have a roll of the NCOs during this period? I am trying to identify someone with the initials AJH and another with the initials JS. They come off an item from this period and it is engraved from AJH to JS. I believe they are probably both senior NCOs from the Inniskilling Dragoons. If I get any info I may be able to elaborate further but at the moment, it is for a collector friend, not something I own. Thanks. Cheers, Alex |
