I'm sorry to nit pick here, but the Gloucesters as a Regiment in their own right no longer exist in the British Army. The two-badge tradition comes from the Gloucesters but they now form part of the The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment with cap badges as follows:

So sorry chaps - but at least you understand me. I can't help being a pedant or so my mother tells me :(

OK, they'll always be the Glorious Goucesters whatever, OK?

I know when I stary banging on about the Seaforths, Camerons and Gordons I forget they are all now one Regiment because in my mind they all still march in their own right.

I'll behave myself in future - OK?http://modellersloft.com/forum/images/smiles/089.gifhttp://modellersloft.com/forum/images/smiles/101.gif
