Cambridgeshire Regiment ( Territorial Force ) Bi Metal Cap Badge with South Africa 1900-01 Scroll

A scarce cap badge with the scroll part of main badge (not separately attached) with original slider to the reverse. A small touch of verdigris to front. Two expansion / braising holes to reverse visible on right hand side. The South Africa scroll was worn as a battle honour due to the volunteers of the 3rd Cambs VBs that fought in the Boer War with the Suffolk Regiment.

K&K Vol 1 No 1816 (states this is officer's pattern, but only mentions it being found in silver plate and bronze). however consulting the BMBF and there is confirmation there of this being worn by other ranks from 1909 to 1914. See also the following URL:
