Whatever its just an opinion.
Hi Jerry
Can you educate me (maybe the forum) on the era of the cap and collar badges also the metal types-I stuggle with British metal insignia type.
Also what or who are the Welsh (c?) FISH Guard!!!
cheers

Phil, most of these are Edwardian and great war.
Fishguard is the only battle honour awarded for an action in the UK, when the caslemartin yeomanry defeated french invaders who had landed near there during the Napoleonic wars. They became the Pembroke Yeomanry. The badges shown for them include officers pattern silver and gilt cap & collars, as well as bronze osd badges of two patterns ,one very rare with extended scrolls, as well as white metal and an other ranks bimetal cap badge for which I have the matching collars not shown.
There are osd cap and collar badges for 1st, 2nd & 3rd bn Monmouthshire regiments, silver and silver plate swb badges, Welsh regiment, Welsh horse, Welsh guards, rwf, Montgomery yeomanry, and Denbighshire hussars yeomanry

Thanks Jerry
It is always good to see a collectors favourites and also for forum members a bit of the history.
I have to say for me The Pembroke Yeomanry Fishguard cap and collars stood out and had me intrigued and all the cap and collars are such a wonderful historical sets.
Thanks again for showing.

Phil the pembroke yeomanry are are very desirable badges to get and out of my metal shoulder titles collection for the welsh units they are the only one I do not have any examples of the 4 variants that have been produced for them.
showing the memorial stone near where the landing by the French took place, a regular coast path walk I undertake with my wife.

Thanks again Jerry
What a nice monument and a beautiful part of the Welsh coast.
My curiosity got to the better of me and I had to look up Fishguard and came across the below site,to put this in historical context for those of us who are fascinated with military history and "The Battle of Fish Guard Bay", was the last foreign invasion of Britain in 1797 during the Napoleonic wars.
