Victorian - Isle of Man Volunteers Other Ranks White Metal Glengarry Badge ( the 7th Volunteer Battalion King 's Liverpool Regiment )

A die struck white metal cap badge with two original dark toned loops to the reverse. The motto " Quocunque Jeceris Stabit " which is rather appropriate given the three legged device to the centre and translates as " whichever way you throw him he will stand ". It was also the motto adopted by the Home Guard of the island in WW2. Circa 4.7cm tall. Some evidence of service wear otherwise in good condition and rare. This pattern worn circa 1896 to 1901.

On the 1st March 1884, the Isle of Man Volunteers were redesignated as the 7th ( Isle of Man ) Volunteer Battalion, The King's (Liverpool Regiment). The Territorial Act of 1907 Act did not extend to the Isle of Man, therefore, the 7th Battalion was the only volunteer battalion that did not move to the Territorial Force and it remained as the last volunteer force unit in the British Army until its disbandment in March 1920.
