TOPIC:

I have just joined this website and hope I'm not wasting any-ones time. I have a badge which I just can't find anywhere on the web but have been told it is a Boer war one. I wish to sell it but have no details and was hoping someone could shed some light for me. Tony

Victorian Infantry Regiment or Victorian Imperial Rifles?

Thanks Neville - amazing that I can't find a badge like this anywhere on any website!.....even with that info. Tony

The Fourth Victorian Contingent for South Africa was "often officially referred to as the Victorian Imperial Regiment" (as well as the Victorian Imperial Bushmen).

So, the shoulder title might well be for that unit, rather than either of my two earlier suggestions.

Thank you so much! Your angle of research was way cleverer than mine! Tony
