    Cap Badges And More

        Black Watch, Royal malta Regt, Tyneside Scottish, Royal Scots Fusiliers, circa WWII 3rd Inf Bde (the tip of the i Div spearpoint with red infantry border & numeral III), & a WWI Victory & BWM with the ribbons the wrong way round.

        Can't say a lot more without better photos in order to see the crowns, scrolls & details of the lion on the Tyneside Scots badge.

          The Dutch or Belgian things are beyond me without a telescope & a book, the 3rd photo's got a Kings Royal Rifle Corps shoulder title, a Signals Corps or two, perhaps a Worcesters collar dog & shoulder title, a Canadian cavalry lot who I can't remember at the moment, perhaps a RAPC collar dog a German black wound badge.
          At first sight there's nothing wonderfully scarce or valuable ther, but can't be sure without better photos.
          Remembered the Cnadian donkey wallopers one, I think that's the 8th Princess Louises Hussars, New Brunswick.
          More of these badges, such as the Black Watch, the signals, the one that looks like RAPC could be Canadian, depends on the detail.

            Many thanks Leigh

            I should have some better pics later today and they will be in front of me next week when I get back from Ghent, so I will be able to play around with them.

            best regards

                  Yep, a few clues there, just need the Hubble to zero in on 'em. Good getting that amount of detail from those photos.

                      That should be GNR.

                        Sydney C, Smith, Royal Garrison Artillery, does'nt look like he was a fatality.

                          Yes, a "Gummer" somehow sounds very much like a Royal Navy trade.
                          Jim?

                            Yes, Officers Head Steward, back in the days when 'copper bottomed' only referred to a ships construction .
