Northumberland Hussars AKA The Noodles

[Coquet]

After a conversation with 'Leslie' (forum member) last week regarding insignia of the Northumberland Hussars I was going to put some pictures up on here of Noodles Badges. Only got 3 photographed today, but it's a start. Not sure if anyone is interested in this stuff. Two people are anyway.

I don't have many so it won't take long. It might still get a bit erudite considering it is supposed to be my day job. Or perhaps not

This fist one is quite scarce. The Victorian army loved its cypher badges. This is 'NNYC' What??? Well, the Northumberland Hussars in their striking miner clubbing days were called the 'Northumberland and Newcastle Yeomanry Cavalry'

This was worn on the sabretache, which is a cavalry/yeomanry pouch.

This is made from silver, 70mm wide, 30m tall, two short threaded stalks on the reverse for fixing.
