Hi All

Just an intro - interested in recreating some slouch hats used by my G,G Grandfathers in the Boer War so need to get the bages correct!

Cheers mike

Smile Grenadier Guards

The Grenadier Guards wore the fused grenade cap badge during the Boer war, the same as they wear today, the exception was the pagri badge, which was the current royal cypher, reversed and interlaced.

Sorry, when I saw GG, I naturally thought of Grenadier Guards, not Great, Great.

Could you let the forum know which Regiment/corps they served in as this would help?
