Sussex Yeomanry

[orasot]

Evening All, Could anyone shed any light on these Sussex Yeomanry badges, are they all collars or could some be I.Y cap badges. All have lugs e/w, the larger one is 39mm x 29mm, with the smaller ones 35mm x 25 mm. K&K shows 4 different badges at 1352 to 1355. Yours, confused, Wilf.

Best of luck Wilf, it's a badge I've never got to grips with. I have one with a tagged on Sussex Yeomanry scoll. Converted collar or updated IY ??!!?

Churchill & Westlake's small book illustrates a collar badge at 25mm (w) x 37mm (h) and these are supposedly actual size which is the same as the one I've mentioned above without the added on scroll. I also have a one piece cap badge with the same dimensions plus another (earlier?) looped version where the upper section is 26 x 39. I think your larger badge may well be an Imperial Yeomanry cap badge and the others collars.
