Queen's Westminster Rifles Veterans (& CSR)
Evening All,
As my friends on here know all my time lately seems to go on researching the men of the QWR, obviously this won't appeal to all but every now & then a little gem turns up!! I was looking through an old copy of the QWR&CSR Retired Members Association newsletter from April 1950 when I came across this article & photo of these 3 men looking at some old headgear, I was interested as I knew the names of the 2 QWR men but also I have a scan of another old photo from the same night which shows the same men in better detail, I have attached the 2 scans and more to follow, Wilf.

The 3 men are named (L to R) W.F.H Rosenberg QWR, J.J Tinsley CSR & Dickie Dunn QWR. I was pleased to see Rosenberg wearing his Retired Members Association badge (attached) as he looks at the Rifle cap (attached) while Dunn who was the Pioneer Sgt looks at the Shako cap (I don't have one of these!!!!)
More to follow, Wilf.

Always extremely gratifying to be able to tie together apparently disparate pieces of info. Thanks for posting, Wilf. Keep up the great work.

Wilf,
Thought you might like to see an example of the Colour Sgt.'s arm badge as worn by Col. Sgt. Rosenberg, when in the 13th Middlesex RVC pre- 1902. Would you happen to know what two colours the chevrons were on which it sat? regards
