Default Dismounted Yeomanry cap badges in 1918

Would everyone care to add in any pictures or accounts that show that dismounted Yeomanry in the infantry role in 1917-19 rebadged to the infantry cap badge.
It shoudl be noted that there were 1/2 and 1/3 battalions left in UK that were not converted to infantry or became cyclist battalions so were not likely to have rebadged..
For starters:

6th (RWY) Bn Wilts Regt: https://twitter.com/vickersmg/status...580417/photo/1
The Wiltshire Regiment cap badge in use.

15th Yeomanry Bn Suffolk Regiment https://www.friendsofthesuffolkregim...k-hussars.html
are recorded as keeping their badges but new joiners had Suffolk ones issued. This is backed up by an obituary in the Regimental Magazine that says the same thing. This officer was commissioned after the conversion but is wearing the LSH badge 5th (Yeomanry) Bn. Suffolk Regiment. http://fwwjournal.blogspot.com/2017/...-in-field.html

14th (F&F) Bn Black Watch https://wartimememoriesproject.com/g...php?uid=254176
The regtl history records they wore the BW insignia and hackle in France in 1918.
Same applies to the 13th (Scottish Horse) Bn.

9th (Yorkshire Hussars Yeomanry) Battalion
