Officer's Pouchbelt Badge 1891



The 24th became 124th in 1903 and was named the Duchess of Connaught's Own in 1895. There is no mention of the Duchess's name on the badge so it probably dates between 1891 when it was titled 'Baluchistan', and 1895. There is also no inscription for the battle honour BRITISH EAST AFRICA 1896 so this badge pre-dates that.
