Leicestershire Regiment
« on: Friday 28 December 07 15:22 GMT (UK) »
The badge seems to show a Leicestershire Regiment, is it infantry if so were there divisions of infantry?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.

I think you will find that this is a cavalry man....The bandolier is suggestive of such

The shoulder title appears to say T Y above the ??Leicester bit, suggesting Leicester Yeomanry, the T for Territorial the Y for Yeomanry.
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
