reserve brigade numeral?
I would appreciate identification of this woven patch pleaes
Is it Boy Scouts of America or a ww1 Reserve Bde numeral? If the latter it would be applicable to 15th (Reserve) Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment. Stephen.

As the collector of Scout badges for almost 50 years, If it was Boy Scouts of America it would be red on a white background with a red border and known as a Red & White.

I don't know, with the training reserve all I think I remember was the colours varied depending on the company?

Stephen,
It certainly is the right shape and size for a TR numeral, but alas I have only ever seen them in photos in B & W. regards

Res Bde
Thanks for answers received so far.
02.10.16. ACI 1891: Distinctive badges authorised for Training Reserve Battalions. Amendment made to ACI 1528/1916, adding the following to para.4 Warrant Officers, NCO and men of Training Reserve battalions will wear on the upper part of both sleeves of the SD jacket and greatcoats, the numeral of the Brigade of which the battalion forms part, in coloured cloth. The colour of the cloth for each battalion will be fixed by its position in the Brigade - 1st Bn in each Brigade wore white; 2nd Battalion wore red. Further battalions wore yellow, green, brown and blue. If a 7th Battalion was formed it wore black. For example, the 14th Training Reserve Battalion, being the fourth battalion of the 3rd Reserve Brigade wore a numeral ‘3’ in green cloth, and the 109th Training Reserve battalion the numerals ‘26’ in red cloth. When men were transferred from Training Reserve battalions their cloth numerals were withdrawn and returned to stores for further use.

The way the numbers are applied to the backing looks odd for WWI- very exact and machine like, a later form of weave? Just a thought. Regards, Paul.
