As it is leading up to the Holidays, I thought I would introduce a bit of fun. There are 10 photos, each photo has been cropped to show only a part of the badge. You have to try to name as many badges as possible. I'll reveal the answers on Sunday 7th.

祝好運

Devilishly cunning. I will have a crack at 4th Hussars for number 3 in the top row.

I'll agree with Highwood, No. 3 is 4th (Queen's Own) Hussars with QVC.

Others could be:
No.2 ASC, if WM Territorials
No. 8 10th (Hackney) London Regiment

Cheers, Tinto

No 2 must be RLC, it has their stable belt as the background and on the badge itself has the axes from the pioneers and the wreath from the RE postal service.

Thanks for taking part in this bit of fun and well done to those who correctly identified the badges. Here are the answers:

1. Jewish Chaplains - cap badge

2. 221 Glasgow Transport Regt RLC (V) cap badge - guessed by most of you, was it the Tartan that gave it away? =p

3. 4th Hussars QVC cap badge

4. Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry Officer collar badge

5. 21st Lancers Cap badge - upright lances

6. Leinsters cap badge

7. 7th PWO West Yorkshire Regt

8. 10th Bn London Regt (Hackney - High Tide)

9. Royal Naval Air Service bronze badge with blades

10 Palestine Regt OSD with original pin.

That's it for now. If you would like to see more of this type of fun, please feel free to comment.
