British/Indian officers caps.

[Farkas]

Hi Gents,

a couple of caps arrived yesterday.

Both British/Indian dating 1922-1947

 

Ive got to say the badges were a little smaller than I expected, I first assumed they must be repurposed collar badges and did not belong but a quick Google shows though they are indeed collar badges they are the ones that were used.

 

14th Punjab Regiment.

 

19th King George V Own Hussars

 

 

Cheers

thanks Gordon, 🍻

Sadly no names but plenty of character (&mothing!)

 

And actually I got one more I don’t think I’ve posted before…

 

 

 

Major H.E. Winthrop served in the British/Indian Army up until partition in 1947, reaching the rank of Brigadier.

 

He served in 14th King Georges Own Ferozepore Sikhs which then became 1st Battalion , 11th Sikh Regiment.

 

I found these 👆 pictures of him and his medals.. 

Nice to be able to put a face to the name.

 

cheers

Tony,

 

Wonderful additions and thread. I agree that it is always nice to be able to put a face to a name. Well done.

 

All the best,

Tony,

Nice additions to your collection.  A picture always adds a great deal of interest to the medals.
