Angela,

The Maltese Cross features in a large number of different regiments,
including the King's Royal Rifle Corps and the Rifle Brigade. But I would
need to see an image of the badges to make a firm identification. Can you
scan the pictures and send me a JPG or GIF image (not through the list,
since RootsWeb does not permit attachments).

Yours aye,
