My understanding of the hallmarked collars is nobody seems to know what they are for just that they exist

Hum forgot these
IMG_20201228_103647.jpgIMG_20201228_103711.jpg The T6 has been repaired I have seen shoulders with no T just the numbers I assume the T was removed when it was decided that the territorials were allowed to assume the regulars honors and this is one of those reconverted IMG_20201228_102711.jpgIMG_20201228_102729.jpg |

That XXI badge is interesting. Is it shoulder title size or larger? The Suffolks normally wore a yellow cloth castle on the FSH since the very early 1900s. I believe possibly on the slouch hat as well? I don't know about the red backing as I would expect yellow, or yellow and red.

I presume you mean XII It's a normal shoulder title size the red felt can't be taken off as the lugs have been squashed so the holes are not big enough, Burma has been mentioned

Hi alex
Churchills infantry collar badge book states they are a mystery mine came together and both dated 1913 they can be between 1910-18 But the collars with XII are unofficial tropical mess dress and were not recognized officially until 1956 so the regiment has form, maybe some sort of mess dress |

yes they are the plastics are other ranks officers have to supply their own fresh
I think it meant a lot to him because he just turn up one minden day and when they found out who he was he was given them and asked to join them it would have been back in the late ninety's |

Hi Neil
What I find odd is that they were made by Carringtons, which means they must have been a special order, so it seems strange that there is no record. I'm sure somewhere in a dusty folder there must be some reference to them. Some OC must have made an order for them and approved their use, which is why I assume it must have been for a special purpose. Interesting! Cheers, Alex |

Hi Rob I don't know the full story those in east anglia tend not to tell much jack gave me the roses but his brother harry told me what I know jack was a member of the FEPOW association but hadn't had anything to do with the regiment but one minden day he had gone round to harry's and said did he want to go to bury with him to see the parade they had gone just to look but as harry said one minute he was with him the next gone and he didn't see him for hours.
