Default Hello to you all.
This is my first post on this forum and I would like to say Hi to you all.

My Great Grandfather was in the 1/9th Hampshire Cyclist Battalion in WWI and during WWII my Grandfather was in the Royal Artillary and the Raiding Support Regiment.
I have recently inherited some of their military badges. I know what some of them are but a few of the cloth ones I do not recognise so I would like to post some pictures to see if anyone can help in identifying them for me.

Hi Nel & welcome,

post the pics of your badges, there are plenty who'll be able to ID them for you and they're a good bunch.

regards,

Iain

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I shall post some pictures in the unidentified insignia section, hopefully someone will recognise them.
I do indeed come from Hampshire so I do know a bit of the history.

Regards, Nel.
