One of the main collection of patches & insignia, is a real treasure trove......I showed samples from it to one dealer who wanted to buy the entire collection...but I would rather let YOU the collectors have a chance than him  obtain them solely for profit.

The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry was an infantry regiment of British Army created from a merger of the 32nd Regiment of Foot and the 46th (South Devonshire) Regiment of Foot.

Its name evolved as follows:

• 1782-1858 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment of Foot
• 1858-1881 32nd (Cornwall) Light Infantry
• 1881 as the name of this article

Part of the regiment's former barracks in Bodmin now serve as the regimental museum.

The Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry was formed in 1959 by the merger of two regiments:

• The Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert's)
• The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry

In common with many of the regiments formed by merger that year it had a short life and was amalgamated with the three other regiments of the Light Infantry Brigade to form The Light Infantry on July 10, 1968.

The Somerset & Cornwall Light Infantry (SCLI)

The regiment was formed on 6th October 1959, by the amalgamation of The Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert's) and the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Immediately before amalgamation the 1st Battalions of these regiments were stationed at Warminster and Osnabruck respectively.

The 1st Battalion The Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry served at Osnabruck until June 1961, when it moved, by way of Plymouth to Gibraltar.It is interesting to note that as Barrymore's (13th) Foot and Fox's Marines, the two parent regiments first met (and shared the same battle honour) at Gibraltar. Gibraltar Day is now celebrated annually on 6th October as the Regimental Day of Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry. The old Regimental Days of Jellalabad, Lucknow and Paardeburg are still remembered, with short histories published in Battalion Orders.

Among the distinctions brought from its parent regiments, the Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry has the Royal Blue Facings and Royal Bugle Cords of the Somerset Light Infantry, the red patch commemorating the red feathers of the Light Company of the 46th Foot (later the 2nd Battalion the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry) and the privilege of wearing the sash knotted on the right side ,a unique distinction usually associated with the gallantry of the 13th Foot at Culloden.The green head-dress, whistle cord and No 1 Dress Uniform are common to all Light Infantry Regiments.The parent Regiments were raised: in 1685 as Huntingdon's Foot (now The Somerset Light Infantry), in 1702, as Fox's Marines, and in 1740 as the 57th (later renumbered 46th)(1st and 2nd Battalions The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry). Their names remain the names of the two Territorial Army Battalions.

In 1968.07.10 1st Battalion, The Light Infantry redesignated upon formation of "large" regiment from Light Infantry Brigade.
