7th City of London regiment is a much better fit with a narrower flame.

I totally agree...Most certainly NOT a woodentop (Guardsman) of any shape or form. The bracket at the bottom of the flame of the 7th is quite patent.

Most certainly the 7thbn London Regt...

Confusingly after the latest MOD shake up, all the remaining old London TA bns are now know as the "London Guards" and their full dress is now scarlets with bearskins!!!
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.
