Hi Pete @SillyOldGrandad. Thanks for your reply. That is more specific and niche than I expected! Explains why I couldn't find much online with a quick search, thanks for assisting with your excellent knowledge. I am attending the Stockport Militaria fair this weekend so might see if anybody fancies it there since it doesn't fall in the scope of what I currently collect. Do you know whether this holds much value? Regular WW1 Manc Regt cap badges fetch between £5-£10 but I imagine this would be a more valuable example due to age and presumed rarity? If this isn't allowed then no worries and feel free to ignore! Cheers Tom

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help with my query. The attached photo is of my 3 x Great Uncle General Alfred Thomas Heyland CB 1813 - 1897. West Yorkshire Regiment/ 14th Buckinghamshire Prince of Wales Own Regiment. He lost an arm in the Battle of Alma. My wife wants to produce a painting of him and I am trying to find out the correct colours for his uniform, also his feathered headgear to the left of the photo. All help appreciated. Chris

Hi sabadgeman & DutchBoy, This medals was ID wrongly. The one on the left, is the South African Police Medal for Combating Terrorism The one on the right, is the South African Railways Police Medal for Faithful Service A batch was manufactured wrongly with the wording Combating Terrorism on the back.
