Title 199th Irish Rangers of Canada cap badge
Nationality Canadian
Period c 1916
Sold

This unit was also known as the Duchess of Connaught's Own Irish Rangers. Raised in 1916 and recruited in Montreal and district, in 1917 the 199th was absorbed into the 23rd Reserve Battalion.

Its condition is excellent. It would originally have been a blackened badge, but now the highlights have been polished.

The Lee Metford bayonet and scabbard arrived today. I am delighted with its condition and also with the prompt service.

Just wanted to thank you very much for finding the sword - you have made C's day and therefore mine!
