South or North Staffordshire Regt - perhaps! Supposing the "serpentine" is a
Staffordshire knot.

> Greetings Everyone
> I am trying to identify a cap badge of a person in a photo. Hopefully that
it will give me my grandfathers unit during the Great War. He served in a
British unit. His brother was in the West Yorkshire Regt but this badge is
not of that unit. The two brothers lived in the Burnley area of Lancashire.
> The badge is topped with the Queen's crown. It is over a scroll that looks
like a pretzel. The scoll item is open at the base with the two rings not
being linked. I was going to say it is like a serpentine.
> Can anyone direct me to a website that has cap badges or identify the
badge from my feeble description.
