12th Chevron Chevrons Dixon Pair Rangers Regiment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph features a single blue chevron, a military insignia representing the rank of Lance Corporal (L/Cpl), belonging to J.R. Dixon of the 12th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment, also known as The Rangers. The chevron is dated 1917 (circa), indicating that it was likely issued during Dixon's service in the British Army during World War I. The 12th (County of London) Battalion was a part of the London Regiment, which was formed in September 1914 as a response to the outbreak of war. The battalion saw action on the Western Front, taking part in several major engagements, including the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Arras. L/Cpl Dixon's chevron is a symbol of his dedication and commitment to his unit and the sacrifices he made during his military service. The blue color of the chevron signifies that Dixon served in the infantry branch of the British Army. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Great War.
