dundeesown Posted 12 April , 2009 Share Posted 12 April , 2009 I`ll go first how about The Welsh Regiment.? Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 12 April , 2009 Share Posted 12 April , 2009 Any more of the picture? 3rd Dragoon Guards is another possibility, as is the 10th Hussars. Pembroke Yeomanry or Glamorgan Yeomanry (less likely, that one) also possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphjd Posted 12 April , 2009 Share Posted 12 April , 2009 Go with Steves 10th Hussars guess. Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 12 April , 2009 Share Posted 12 April , 2009 As Steve's already said, in addition to the Welsh Regiment there are a number of cavalry regiments it could be. Can you post more of the picture to give any other clues? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrockway Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 (Prince of Wales's Own) Civil Service Rifles (aka 15th London Regiment) can be ruled out as the scroll under the feathers on this badge appears to be continuous across the whole width of the badge (and it's not blackened).

Chris_Baker Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 Can I come at this a slightly different way? What's his name? We might be able to match him up via medal or service details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just it Chris. He is either one of three McNamee's. Going off their MIC's, they served in either Peter. Somerset Light Infantry, Hampshire Regiment Michael. South Lancashire Regiment, Dorset Regiment Francis. South Lancashire Regiment, Cheshire Regiment, Essex Regiment Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 The South Lancs (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) had a POW feathers badge, but with a very noticeable laurel wreath round it, so it certainly isn't that. Where did he come from? Is it at all possible it's a post-War picture? Might he have joined the Yeomanry or something after the war? I know you come from Up North, and it could be the Cheshire Yeomanry badge, at a pinch (tho' the lower scroll looks a bit short). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 McNamee~Irish?? Leinsters??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 Only problem I see with leinsters is that their badge had a straight lower scroll, whereas the photo appears to show a curved one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 I agree Steve there is a variant with Curved upper "Ich Dien" Scrolls though & the Camera may "lie" with regard to the lower scroll [possibly] clutching at straws here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 13 April , 2009 Share Posted 13 April , 2009 I'm not sure which way round it's supposed to be, does the way their puttees are tied suggest infantry rather than cavalry? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the service records for two of the brothers, and there is no mention of Yeomanry. Their father was Irish. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
