Antrim Militia Artillery Shoulder Title

A rare brass shoulder title for The Antrim Royal Garrison Artillery Militia with two hexagonal lug fastenings (east and west). Westlake 652 or Litchfield 71.

Note: This title was worn with a separate small RGA title above.

Westlake states only two units of militia artillery from the Army List of May 1905 survived the reorganisation of 1908. These were the Antrim and Cork batteries, which became known as Royal Garrison Reserve Artillery.

Norman Litchfield's book on 'The Militia Artillery 1852-1909' (p43) dates this title to c1907 and states this unit was not disbanded until after WW1.
