Regimental ribbons

[badjez]

I have the pieces of ribbon as seen in picture.
With the help of Les Cable they have been tentatively identified as follows:

1st row. Black to Left; 4th Northants Regt.;
Bedfs & Herts;
Suffolk Regt.

2nd row. Leicestershire Regt.
East Riding Yeomanry.

3rd row. Somerset L.I. worn vertically, Green on right.
King’s Liverpool Regt colours. Also now worn by Gibraltar
Regt.


Question No1 - can these identifications be confirmed?

Question No2- to what purpose might these ribbons be put?

Thanks, Stephen.

Stephen,

I am pretty sure the ribbon on the 3rd row is not Kings Liverpool, in fact to me it looks like a piece of Imperial Service Medal ribbon.

Middle row right I'm pretty sure is Masonic. The ribbon is from a members jewel for a Mark Master Mason.

Regimental ribbons were (may still be) used on summer hats, Regimental sports team hats, and Regimental Medals.

Middle row right was also worn horizontally as first pattern cap badge backing for Junior Para. Replaced by a blue plastic oval.

Thanks to all who looked, and contributed. I'm now a wiser man.
