Lancs Hussars NCO Arm Badge

[GriffMJ]

Hi All

This is Sergeant William Pendlebury LHY in blues and his arm badge is not the one I am familiar with (that I have also attached)?

[3dg]

Interesting, looks like a standard rose?

[GriffMJ]

... its almost like the DLOY collar?

[Peter Brydon]

I may be wrong but I have always been dubious about the fancy rose with leaves etc being the LH arm badge, it would so easily be broken.

....its appears that a bit more research has to be done on this Yeomanry Peter

I see a round rose.

[GriffMJ]

.... its definitely bullion and cloth. The Officers Slouch hat badge is 5cm x 5cm ...... so that arm badge is smaller than that?

Played around with a couple of images.

It is a great pity that the late R.J.Smith never got round to writing a book on the Lancashire Hussars, one was planned in the series of Yeomanry books published by the Army Museums Ogilby Trust and he actually had a relative who had served in the Regiment ( and had all the research) but the book was never written, it might certainly have answered a few questions.

And that’s a potential problem I think a lot of images seem to get played about with.

Some I feel (not your good-self, Mike) let their own confirmation bias affect the tints and auto-contrasts applied to century old unclear photos to make them closer to what they want to see.

... that image is the DLOY ....and the (metal) collars look a bit smaller than the rose on the LHY Sgt I think?
