RM no crown
Could the Royal Marines badge with no crown possibly be the badge with white metal globe and G/m laurels?

That would certainly fit with the man in the photograph...

I have found this thread very interesting, getting back to the Brodrick and the time scale as to when they were worn. I have a photo of the 6th Battalion The Cheshire Regiment which maybe of interest, three of the men are wearing 4th VB cloth titles while the man kneeling on the left has T/6 Cheshire brass shoulder titles, which I think dates it after 1st April 1908, the man standing on the left is wearing a Broderick?

Yes it is, and the dating is fascinating, with several aspects competing:
TF dating as you say Brodrick going but not gone ...... quite a late survivor on the soldier and I think shoulder cords on the SD jacket, another end of era. ON THE CUSP I think is what people say these days. |

Super photo. Thanks for sharing. I would not be the first nor the last time that the TF/TA/ARs are slower than the regulars to adopt new dress regulations. I have seen a number of photos circa 1908 with slouch hats and new khaki caps worn along side each other by the TF.

Yes I believe that is correct and have seen several examples as such. Interestingly, in WW1 all other ERE employments, such as the Royal Marine Labour Corps and various other specialist functions also wore just the globe and laurels alone.

It's good to see this thread still attracting attention and continuing to enlighten.
Here is another relevant image showing REs at play, possibly cadets, again on 'the cusp'. Ry Last edited by Charlie585; 21-11-13 at 02:24 PM. |

@Indian Pattern FSH and York L I Badge Size increase
Quote:
I was going through some files and have found another record I had where the FSH replaced by the Wolesley was referred to as The Indian Pattern Here it is attached below from the RACD list of changes WO359, vol 12 p 255 in the entry related to the increase in badge size for the Yorkshire L.I. I admit that this is the only time I recall having seen this term, I can't imagine it is anything other than the 1897 pattern. John |

From memory - I'm away from my notes - there is mention of the Indian pattern helmet in vol 20, which is the 'notes' volume. I was never sure what it meant. I'll try and dig out the references at the w/e.
