The Essex Regiment Helmet plate pre WWI?
Hi Guys,
Would just like to find out a date on the Helmet Plate as well as how rare they are. Had a look round the net, but can't seem to find the exact badge. Would I be correct in guessing around 1911 ish towards the end of WWI? Any info would be great. Regards, Tinus & Mike |

TheKings Crown HP had two versions. The first with bottom scroll reading "THE ESSEX REGIMENT" was 1901 -1911 the second with the bottom scroll readinf "THE ESSEX REGT" was 1911-1914. regards

Simon, regarding the scroll titles and dates, I've just seen a pattern card dated 1903 which has the REGT version, so wondering if they ran side by side as variants rather than one pattern following the other.
