battalion badges of the Great War

[poona guard]

 Hi to all members - an appeal for your help.
I am in the throws of finishing a book on the battalion badges worn by Kitchener infantry volunteers. I have all the information on the Manchesters but do not have photos that show the badges being worn. If you have a photo that shows a divisional or battalion badge or indeed a genuine article (including the specialshoulder titles)  that you would like to appear in the book I would be very pleased to hear from you. The book will be out for next Christmas and any help will be acknowledged. I hope to be inundated with offers.

Dave,
Feel free to use the image of the shoulder titles and badge of 2nd City / 17th Bttn in this image https://17thmanchesters.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/aab-cap-badge-and-shoulder-tabs.jpg
They belonged to Pte A A Bell 8055. I think they were replaced by red tapes with white writing in 1916.
Good luck with your project
Tim

Thanks Tim

They came from Harribobs originally.
I've been around for a while but am still finding stuff on this
site that I've missed

Thanks for the offers gentlemen, much appreciated and will use them and acknowledge - brilliant pictures. Now all I need is to find some photos of the cloth badges they wore - any ideas?.
