Enlisted men? Now I'm confused! I thought regimental badges were for officers, on being commissioned?

Is a "jubilee" badge like this an exception, to be worn by everyone on active duty in the regiment at the time of the occasion?

Hi Rick,

I may be mistaken..

My understanding of Reg. badges is that they were authorized at the 100 yr anniversary, or more.

I think em and officers were allowed wear. usually Officers had silver/gold and enamel examples and em were not enameled..and made of brass.

I think the wearer had to purchase there own..not awarded.
