HAMPSHIRE AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT MILITARY INSIGNIA

I hope the following notes and pictures will provide a good understanding of the military insignia to be found from the county of Hampshire.  Most of the following badges illustrated are from my own collection or fellow Hampshire collectors. The reference data has been taken from many sources and the work undertaken by these authors has been invaluable all I have done is to draw this information into one document. This record I am sure will never be finished as new items keep turning up and errors made by myself and others are corrected. I welcome constructive criticism and new information
