Paul_1957 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have had a British Army button for several years and have never known which regiment it belongs to. The button is made by the Army and Navy Company and has a diameter of 3/4 of an inch (18mm). Can anyone identify the regiment or which part of the uniform the button came from? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Paul - whichever Regiment wore this button - it is for their 2nd. Battalion. I will look through some Victorian uniform patterns and see if I can help. It is certainly for Queen Victoria - 1837-1901. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_1957 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thank you Mervyn. I did wonder if it was for the 2nd West India Regiment. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I would've said the 2nd (Queen's Royal) Regiment of foot, even the style of "2" is the same - but theirs lacks the wreath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I had previously considered the 2nd Foot but noticed that their buttons did not have the same design as mine. Perhaps my button is from a Militia regiment.
