I think only a single subaltern and a dozen or so men, they seem to have lost their regimental cap badges too, with the awful brigade badges being worn instead.

The Monmouth school CCF badge was a gold dragon on blue . They supposedly carried on the traditions of the Monmouthshire Rgt.

Officers wore their usual collars upon SD, but, Home Service Full Dress was withdrawn in September 1914, with the result that the rank and file had no collar badges to wear for the duration, they were not normally worn on SD, notwithstanding, I dare say you might have encountered odd NCO's who had managed to retain them for wear whilst at their depot.

No idea without a photograph, perhaps, starting a new thread with one would be the way to go.
