Badge, about 1916

The Bristol Volunteer Regiment underwent training and could be to fight at short notice. There were three battalions totalling over 1600 volunteers. The volunteers were inspected in October 1916 by Field-Marshall Viscount French, Commander in Chief of the British Expeditionary Force. He called them ?the last line of defence for England?.
