I saw this cap and looked at it with RTA-phil2m. It had General service buttons, which doesn't help much I know.
It's a shame I missed you. perhaps next time? Andy |

The closest match I have to that is the South Irish Horse circa 1903-14..... below the thin red line there is a thin green and then red below if that makes sense....... the welt of the top edge of the Cap is red also.
I have a good number of image referenced Yeomanry Peaked Forage caps dating from 1900-14 and the SIH is the nearest to the one you have displayed above....
