WW1 British BEF South Wales Borderers SWB Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW1 British BEF South Wales Borderers (SWB) Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair are original military insignia worn by members of the South Wales Borderers regiment during the First World War. These titles consist of the brass initials “SWB,” typically designed in a curved format to fit the epaulettes of the British Army service dress. Issued to soldiers serving both at home and as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) on the Western Front and other theaters, these insignia helped to identify regimental affiliation within the British Army. The SWB regiment, with origins dating back to the 24th Regiment of Foot, played a significant role in key campaigns throughout the Great War. The shoulder titles were attached to the upper uniform shoulder straps using brass lugs and split pins, a standard fitting method of the era. Period-correct features include crisp, well-defined lettering and solid brass construction typical for WW1 British Army insignia.
