Does anyone know which regiment this cap badge is from? (Photo attached)
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this cap badge. It's shaped like a Royal Engineers Corps cap badge, except with what looks like a "W" in the centre. Any suggestions regarding the date and regiment will be much appreciated. If this helps, the picture may be of my great-great-grandfather who was part of the Reservist AG Corps Signals and later the Cheshire Regiment (WW1). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. -Catherine Last edited by Catherine; 11-05-21 at 10:21 PM. |

Possibly Corps of Royal Engineers.

I think you are mistaking the royal cypher for the letter W. In WWI this would have been George 5th's GvR cypher. if you look at the attached photo and squint your eyes a bit you can hopefully see how the cypher could look like a letter W from a distance.
The date being circa 1910-1936 though others may be able to give exact dates. Mark |

I would say he was in the Signals Service of the Royal Engineers.

He was probably my great-great-grandfather then (the only picture we have of him too!) Thank you, Rob.
