WESTERN PROVINCE MOUNTED RIFLES - Badge # 46..... Mike

Very interesting artefacts, Mike. Thank you.

Clearly a marriage, which is a shame, notwithstanding, still a handsome and fairly scarce piece.

18th Bn. (Sharpshooters) Imperial Yeomanry rare Boer War slouch hat badge on rosette.

Good brass crowned ‘SS’ mounted on general pattern red and purple silk rosette which bears evidence of previous Prince of Wales’s plumes and ‘IY’

Brooch pin

Regarding the composite MICs did they wear their company badge (as seen below) in lieu of regimental badges or in addition to them? Is the badge below a shoulder badge or for slouch hat/helmet?

The 2MI badge is a pic from ebay so may not even be accurate. MIC units are a new exploration for me.
