Thank you.

Frederick,

You are asking a very wide question. If you do not refine your request further you will have to identify all the Brigades that served in the Division, then their infantry battalions from numerous regiments, plus RA, and the service corps, divisional cavalry/yeomanry... You may end up collecting almost the whole of the army!

Stephen.

Frederick,

First stop will be Colin Churchill's excellant book on infantry collar badges. If you don't have access to a copy then perhaps members might be able to assist with photos etc.

Regards, Stephen.
