Item History
The 1st Midlothian Rifle Volunteers were formed in 1859 in Leith during the Victorian volunteer movement triggered by perceived invasion threats from France. The numeral 32 represents the designated precedence rank of the county of Midlothian within the United Kingdom’s Volunteer Force framework. This early pattern badge layout with a distinct motto scroll was proudly worn on headgear like shakos or glengarry bonnets before the battalion transitioned to become part of the Royal Scots in 1888.
