Geoff will know for sure? Doug Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: Chef Geoff on April 05, 2015, 08:06:56 PM LOL Why should I know? none of my sweethearts were in the light infantry :D
Not sure about the sweetheart bit but it's certainly the light infantry and given the red rose then I would say it's one of the Lancashire light infantry regiments (come on Doug you should have got that being a white rose man ;)) but further than that I'm not sure so I shall consult the books......watch this space ;) Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: Doug on April 05, 2015, 08:09:35 PM LOL Why should I know? none of my sweethearts were in the light infantry :D Not sure about the sweetheart bit but it's certainly the light infantry and given the red rose then I would say it's one of the Lancashire light infantry regiments (come on Doug you should have got that being a white rose man ;)) but further than that I'm not sure so I shall consult the books......watch this space ;) ........... ;D Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: sharkey on April 05, 2015, 08:10:26 PM :D thanks very much both :)

Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: Chef Geoff on April 05, 2015, 08:44:48 PM Pretty sure its the DLI...(Durham light infantry) ??? What makes you think that? They have DLI on their badges and no rose? Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: Dryland on April 05, 2015, 08:52:48 PM Great finds Andy
Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: Chef Geoff on April 05, 2015, 09:05:10 PM No I've run out of pages :-\ the big problem is that all the Lancashire regiments I have a reference for have a C-in-C from the aristocracy and so have a crown or coronet on the badge and yous doesn't look as if it has anything missing from the top ???
Unless someone else comes up with a positive id then it might be worth sending an email along with your picture to the Lancashire Infantry museum http://www.lancashireinfantrymuseum.org.uk/ (http://www.lancashireinfantrymuseum.org.uk/) Title: Re: silver badge for i.d. please Post by: dingdong on April 05, 2015, 09:06:55 PM Some of the horned badges did not give regiment in case the wearer was captured.
