An Addendum to the Abridged Field Guide to Regimental Ties

Although there may be limited redundancy with the ties depicted in the original guide; https://arnhemjim.blogspot.com/2017/02/a-field-guide-to-regimental-ties.html , this author has observed sufficient additional regimental ties at additional other sources meriting this addendum.

With both acknowledgement and gratitude expressed to the Ben Silver Collection of Charleston, South Carolina, those ties are presented herein.  All still being available from that establishment, however like all endangered species, their value has jumped significantly.  One of particular personal interest is that of the Calcutta Light Horse Regiment (http://arnhemjim.blogspot.com/2012/01/the-reincarnation-of-calcutta-light.html ).

Readers with the sharp eye of a Regimental Sergeant Major or Quartermaster Sergeant Major will note a few typographical errors in the names. The Queen’s Bays (2nd Dragoon Guards), Royal Tank Regiment, and Royal Army Pay Corps are examples.

This additional segment of regimental ties comes from The Regimental Shop in Great Britain to whom this author expresses both acknowledgement and gratitude. With apologies, again there may be a few cases of redundancy with previously presented ties.
