So from your chart they appear to be Engineer Corps - Scarlet Red / White, is that what you get?
Also, does the cap appear original and if so any value?
BTW, thanks Ade for your help once again.
The garrison caps look like the WWII px style but more so the post war style could be either. value 10$ ea. if your lucky. -Ben
