If anyone would like clearer or simply better photos, I'll be going back to the museum some time.

Certainly some interesting items shown. I love the story of the loss and recovery of the Boer drum! I see there are a couple of CIV titles in the display - are they associated with the Cheshires?
Best regards

Thanks for enlarging the area of interest. Rather than "ECIV" (i.e., some association with the City Imperial Volunteers), I now see it as an IY badge.
