Gildwiller1918 Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I recently got a pair of British shoulder tabs, slip on type, I was told they are WW1 era, can anyone confirm this? I have not been able to find out much on them so far. Thanks in advance. 4 Quote
Fritz Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Suffolk Regiment (Infantry - counties Regiment). They don't look like WW1 or WW2 pieces. I had a few singles many years ago. First of all, they should be on rough khaki serge sliders, they were embroidered in white for WW1, and WW2 versions have black embroidery. Of course, there were also the denim battledress blouses in WW2, but I haven't seen matching insignia, although much British cloth insignia was printed in WW2. These were in place of the previous otherwise brass shoulder titles. Examples: Kings Dragoon Guards, WW1 and later Royal Naval Division, probably WW1 period WW1 South Stafford Regiment Territorial 4th Btn. Norfolk Regiment WW1 Royal Fusiliers WW1 Durham Light Infantry 3rd Hussars, 1914-18 WW1 Royal Army Medical Corps, 1914-18 Royal Garrison Artillery, 1914-18 WW2 Home Guard, rather worn WW2 Royal Welsh Fusiliers WW2 Royal Artillery Royal Engineers, WW2 3 Quote
