WWI Regiment ID
« on: Wednesday 27 February 08 22:05 GMT (UK) »
Can anybody help me please to identify the regiment here from the cap badge?
The person concerned was born and lived in Oxford.

Thanks

If that is 'haze' at the top of the badge, the bottom half could be the bugle of a light infantry regiment, including the Oxfordshire LI.

Any chance of a high definition scan of just the badge?

It could also be the Suffolk Regiment
