13 Battalion East Surrey Regt
Please could I ask if this would have been the collar badge or cap badge for the East Surreys?

hey
i am no expert and it may have been worn as a cap badge however the general consensus is that lugged badges (like yours) are collars and the badges made with prongs are cap badges bc

Technically it is a collar badge, but there were undoubtedly some instances wherein such badges were pressed into service on the cap. The badge you show is for the regular E. Surrey, not the 13th Bn.

Thank you very much for the informative replies. I had always assumed this was in my family because it belonged to my great grandfather Capt L B Mills MC, he was c/o D Coy, 13th Battalion. The officer in the photo was 2nd Lieut G Deacon also 13th Battalion. Now I'm puzzled, what were the differences? Thanks again.

This is the 13th cap badge
