Hi Grant, The shield bears the County Arms of West Sussex. [attachmentid=33223] This shield would have been worn by the West Sussex Constabulary as a collar badge or even on their epaulettes above their pin number. As for the numbers, I believe they were used before the present system was in use! [attachmentid=33224] Regards Arthur

Hi, There is a books which should help! It is: XIII Hussars. South African War, October 1899 - October 1902. Published at Aldershot by May & Co., printers [1902] You might have to get your local library to try and get a copy of it for you. Regards Arthur

Norfolk Regiment The Holy Boys ( Not because of their piety, but because once, when they were about to leave for duty overseas, each soldier was given a bible, every one of which was sold for beer.) Although I have heard this explanation to their nickname before, and no doubt they sold their prayer books to purchase beer! The Norfolk Regiment [9th Foot] got this nickname from the 'Battle of Almanza' in 1707. The badge of 'Britannia' dates from this battle, where it had been awarded for gallantry. It is said to have been mistaken by the Spanish for the 'Modona'. Other nicknames used by the regiment were 'The Fighting Ninth' and 'The Norfolk Howards' Regards Arthur

Hi, If you look at the centre of the badge you will see that there is no cypher! However, I have tried to download both badges [R.E. & Beds] for you to see the differences, but I have failed to do so. Arthur

Hi, The badge on the right looks like the Bedfordshire Regt! Regards Arthur
