Botha, CTH, De Wet Rgt titles
Three different titles on the usual orange flashes (quite mothed, alas!): Botha Regiment, Cape Town Highlanders, De Wet Regiment. I am just wondering whether both the Botha and CTH would have worn their separate regimental titles while serving in their respective combined units: First City Regiment - Cape Town Highlanders and Botha Regiment - President Steyn. I guess the combined title ILH-KR was a kind of exception? What would the combined regiment Witwatersrand Rifles - De La Rey Regiment wore on their shoulder orange flashes? Would they have worn a combined arm title, following the pattern of their WR-DLR cap badges? Rosignoli has produced a drawing of a horizontal pattern combined title, but this seem to be the output of speculations, rather then an attested specimen... what is your knowledge about this issue, gentlemen? Thank you in advance!
