12th Dixon Embroidered Pair Rangers Regiment Shoulder Title Titles
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph showcases a pair of embroidered shoulder titles, belonging to the distinguished military career of L/Cpl J R Dixon. The titles, dating back to 1917, are intricately embroidered with the insignia of the 12th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment, also known as The Rangers. The 12th Battalion was formed in September 1914 as part of the first wave of Kitchener's New Army, and saw active service in France and Belgium during World War I. L/Cpl Dixon's service number indicates that he enlisted as a private soldier, but his dedication and valor were recognized with the promotion to Lance Corporal. The embroidered titles, adorned with the regimental badge of a leaping tiger, are a testament to L/Cpl Dixon's commitment to his regiment and his country. The intricate stitching and attention to detail are a reflection of the pride and craftsmanship that went into creating these insignia for the soldiers of The Rangers. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the military during the First World War. The embroidered shoulder titles, with their rich history and connection to a specific individual, serve as a powerful symbol of the courage and dedication displayed by the soldiers of The 12th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment, during their time in the trenches.
