Query about dates collar badges were first worn.
Attached is a scan of a member of what, I believe, is the West Yorkshire Regiment. The photo was taken in India prior to WW2. I am wondering if it is possible to date the photo more accurately by establishing when collar dogs were first worn with this type of dress as I seem to have read somewhere that this was around 1923.
Any help greatly appreciated. Peter4447

Other Ranks did not wear collar badges on Service Dress between 1902 and 1924. They continued to wear them on full dress, walking out dress etc - though of course fd and wod wasn't really worn after 1914. That said, there were some peculiar rules as far as India goes but only up to 1914 - I DON'T know if collar badges were worn there (probably not, but see other photographs). I also think there is a date for when that particular type of FSH was introduced.
