    Found it :-)

    Cap badge of the Cameronians 2nd Bat Scottish Rifles

    http://www.bing.com/...81FE1F&first=37

    Not true Cameronians badge has a bugle in it but this surmounted by a star surrounded by a wreath.

    This badge is described so: On 1st July 1881, the 53rd Shropshire Regt and the 85th King's Light Infantry ... Light Infantry (KSLI);

    the Shropshire Militia became the 3rd Special Reserve (S R)

    I use Wikepedia for info. Look up wiki and ebay for Light infantry.

    My guess is that you would get about 10 GBP at the most.

    Hi, Smuts is still there including the Shilton, which is now a Restuarant. Many of the buildings are used by small firms, Spandau prison was knocked down and a new building for naafi and scvs built, in 1994 the buildings were taken over by a supermarket chain and a eectronics and media shop.
