Military badge collecting

by John Gaylor

Military Badge Collecting by John Gaylor. 1991 third edition paperback published by Leo Cooper, London. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. This book treats every aspect of the hobby of collecting regimental cap-badges. The author tells of the evolution of the present regimental badges from the numbered regiments of foot up until 1881, of the Volunteers, of the Territorials, the Home Guard, military cyclists, Kitchener's Army and many other unusual units. The book offers advice on the acquisition, mounting and storing of badges. There are new appendices which deal with the tartans worn by Scottish infantry regiments and a full listing of all the infantry Volunteer battalions in 1908, just before the creation of the new Territorial Force.
