Jim Maclean Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Ralph,The badge you show in post #2 may well be the crown for adding to a Helmet Plate Centre for wear on the glengarry. Have a look at the loops on the back, there should be 2 U shaped loops of the same kind that you should find on the back of the HPC in post 74. The two were worn together with a brass backing plate.Jim
Jim Maclean Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 The badge shown in post #85 is a collar badge to the Suffolk Regiment in use from 1931.Illustration #381 in Colin Churchill's History of the British Army Collar badge.
