Cap Badges..

[Iban Kepala]

Reference the cap badge question - the Scroll containing the name of the Loyal North Lancs extends far higher than the one shown in the first photograph and the wings of it are just about on a level with the top of the crown whereas on the Green Howards badge the Scroll is less than the width of the bar above it containing it's number of the line regiment i.e. XIX. Hence my stating it is in fact the latter one rather than the former.
I have tried without success to send two pictures showing these facts. However.S's.L.
Cheers.
