A SINGLE RIGHT FACING COLLAR TO THE PRETORIA REGIMENT.
This is the more modern example with the "Pins and Clips" fitting to the rear.
"Quartermaster's Comment"- To this day this Regiment still wears (I think) the Guards colours of Wine Red and Dark Blue behind their Cap Badge. This is an Honour bestowed upon them by the Guards for their excellent support given in Italy during the Second World War. It is interesting that their motto is 'NULLI SECUNDUS'......Second to None...which is the same as for the Coldstream Guards....who admittedly used it as their motto because of the Grenadiers!!!!
