Who has a regimental cap badge with a crown at the top 2 crossed swords in the middle on a circular solid badge from ww1 is it gloucestershire.how can i find a picture?
The Gloucestershire Regiment's cap badge was a Sphinx image sitting on a battle honor EGYPT with a wreath below and the name of the regiment.But the cap badge I found for it was not as you describe at all.There was also a Gloucestershire Yoemanry Regiment that was also known as Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. But the cap badge I found for it was not as you describe at all.I thought maybe the badge you had was a collar device. But again, the Gloucestershire Regiment wore a small Sphinx on their collar.The badge for the Army Personal Training Corps during WW2 was simply crossed swords with a crown mounted above where they crossed.I can't find such a badge. However, during WW1 the British had many different regiments and yeomanry units that only existed for that war.Oh wait! Sometimes cap badges had a backing that was used to attach it. These backings were large round discs. Was the badge you saw attached to a hat? If it was lying by itself, then maybe the circular disc was some type of back plate.+++++++++++I found it!!WW1 Overseas Bronze Badge - Round badge with crossed swords with a wreath around outer edge. Crossed swords in the center with a Crown above them and a 5-pointed Star below it. Across the front is a scroll that reads "OVERSEAS SERVICE". The back is solid with a British style safety pin clasp.I found this on the eBay store of my favorite and most knowledgeable sellers of British and Canadian cap badges. He has one for sale with a PHOTO; list price $25(USD). His ebay seller name is ArticMedals. I'm sure he can explain what this purpose of this badge and maybe know where it was worn. This is not a Cap Badge.Steve, aka Custermen

The size of the badge may be helpful. If it is small, this could be a collar brass or a specialty badge worn on the sleeve. For example, some in the Signal Corps wore a brass crossed flags on the sleeve, I believe. I will search some references.
Who had a regimental cap badge similar to a Maltese cross?
Answer There are several British Regimental Cap Badges that are shaped like a Maltese Cross over the years. This shape was common for Rifle regiments and I have three types in my collection: King's Royal Rifle Corps. The Sherwood Forestes had a Maltese Cross with a reclining deer in the center(no wreath). In the current British Army, this badge would be worn by the Royal Green Jackets. Its badge is a Maltese Cross within a Wreath.

Who had a regimental cap badge with a laurel wreath a cross and a crown?
I assume you question is about British Regimental Capbadges. And I assume by a "Cross" you refer to a Maltese cross and NOT a Christian cross. The Maltese cross was used as a symbol for rifle regiments. The Kings Royal Rifle Corpswas a simple Maltese cross with a crown on top(but no wreath) and was painted black.Rifle Brigade - Maltese Cross surrounded by a thick wreath with a Crown on top. The wreath is wrapped with a banner that lists the battle honors of the Rifle Brigade. The bottom title has the name "Prince Consort's Own" and under the Crown is "Waterloo".Variations of this badge were adopted for other rifle units, as follows.Derby & Knox "Sherwood Forresters" - Another Maltese Cross in a Wreath with Crown on top. A round disc in center of cross is marked "The Robin Hoods", and the arms of the cross is printed with "South Africa" and "1900-02".Earlier versions of this badg has a smaller wreath that covers just the center of the Cross and the name "Sherwood Forresters on the two horizontal arms of the cross. A Title banner under the cross is marked with "Notts & Derby".County of London Rifle Brigade - Almost identical to above badge but has "County of London" in the center and numeral "XIX" in very center.The Border Regiment - This badge has the same symbols but is mounted on a 6-pointed sun-ray as its background. (Since you didn't mention this, I'm don't think this is your badge.)CanadianHastings & Prince Edwards ("Hasty P's") - This Canadian unit wore a badge with a Maltese Cross and a Wreath and a Crown on top, however the center Disc and the wreath almost covers up the shape of the cross. The center disc has an Elk head in the center and at the base is a small Beaver.
