badge.
The badge is a blackened and white
metal Huia feather and comes attached to a piece of tartan cloth - it
appears to be Black Watch which suggests that the wearer was probably in
the Dunedin Highland Rifle Volunteers, |
| which
until 1911 was 'C' Company of the 1st Battalion, Otago Rifle Volunteers.
In 1911 the Battalion was renamed as 4th (Otago Rifles) Regiment. |
|
|
<<< Note. This
badge carries the 5 star Southern Cross.
Normally New Zealand only uses the 4
major stars of the Southern Cross on their badges and flags etc.
By the time this unit evolved into the
10th Otago Regiment the 5th star had disappeared. |
