leigh kitchen Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Then again, maybe not - looking at this close up, it could even be the motto of the 17th Lancers. Edited October 24, 2008 by leigh kitchen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Dwyer Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It's hard to tell, but that almost looks like a beaver's head and front paws to me, not a buffalo head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Stewart Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Certainly looks more Colonial than British, plus the strap is numbered and looks like '22'. or '23'. Canadian Militia units I believe were numbered, so it may pay to check out their ORBAT for the turn of the last century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ta, interesting that the shoulder strap is "coloured" I'd even wondered if the uniform might be South African. No photographer details on the photo, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
