Hi Dean
Many thanks for info, I think all Durham items seem to generate a higher price and this is apparently a very rare example so i am told. I won it recently on ebay, the seller said it was a D.L.I. shoulder title from the First World War, it was buy it now for £9.99, see link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251010804949 Best wishes Mike |

Hi again Mike.
Great find, it just goes to show, always have a look at all the Buy now offers at the end of a particular search. Anyway: In 1745 Militia of County Durham was raised and in 1853 it was divided into 3 Regiments, 1st (South Durham), 2nd (North Durham) and an Artilley unit. In 1881 the Noth Durham Militia became 4th Battalion Durham Light Infantry. Regards Brian |
