Badge Query: Photo
« on: Saturday 23 April 05 11:38 BST (UK) »
Hi

I wonder if anyone can identify the badge on this photograph - I'm not even sure if its a military emblem or not.

Picture taken c1952

Any views welcome.

cheers

Paul

hi paul

it looks like it could be the badge of the 17th lancers (later 17/21st). The moto under the skull reads 'or glory'
