	Does anyone know a site that has pictures of regimental badges, insignia etc? I have a photo of my great grandmother with an open locket around her neck and a military insignia worn as a brooche. Its an animal that looks like a big cat and we feel it might be her eldest brother who died, we think, either during or shortly after the Boer War. All help much appreicated as always

	John - this is brilliant, thank you! In less than five minutes I had narrowed it down to the Royal Leicestershire Regiment!!! You are a star, thank you again and have a lovely day! X
