Queens Westminster Rifles query
I have a couple of querys :-
What pouch badge was worn after the amalgamation with the Civil Service Rifles ? The crowned double shield that was worn on the cap boss,does it come with a QC or was the KC retained ? Many thanks |

It's a badge that looks like the gurkha type crown and feathers, the shoulder belt has a large version of the double shield cap badge, I'm sure Wilf will fill you in better.

Looks like a 2nd Gurkha badge. Is it on screw posts ?

Yes but the belt badges have been altered, this lot came with brand new buttons as a group that was split but I was lucky enough to reunite a couple of months later, wilf has the badges in situ on the belt.

Thanks.
I have seen a QC black brass cap badge with a QC lower crown and an image from the Rifles museum of a silver QC Crossbelt badge but a KC lower crown. Makes me think it's had the crown doctored. |

My have been altered for the coronation, I read somewhere they only decided on the new crown about a month before if I remember correctly. |

Stunning Wilf,thank you for sharing it. Is the cord boss badge a KC or QC ? Is the pouch badge on screw posts Wilf ?

I think the item is a presentation piece. The image I have of the coronation marching party shows a KC on the crossbelt.
