Picked up this sported 1918 Enfield No 1 today for next to nothing. All matching, have a stock set waiting for it tomorrow. Curious about the unit disc.....can anyone ID?

Just a guess, but "2 W.R." may be 2nd Battalion The Welsh Regiment.

The "P.W." made me think of "Powys" but there's probably no connection at all, and there was no connection to the Prince of Wales in 1919.

WELL was the abbreviation for the Welch Regt. My dads uncle Alf Jones was in 2 Welsh from Mons til the end of the war.

WEL. Stupid auto correct.

Restocked it today....just need to find the short upper handguard.

I have one here I can send you but it's missing the two forward bits that lie on each side of the sight...But it could be sorted out, perhaps...

[Anzac15]

Jim, that would be great.

As to the disc.....possibly 2nd Worchestershire Regiment?

[browningautorifle]

PM me an address and I'll go dig it out for you.

One of our forum members really came through with a part I needed....short top handguard, I lightly sanded it then stained it to match. Turned out pretty good. Many thanks!

[browningautorifle]

Almost passable...

I wondered about 2nd Worcesters. My paternal grandfather's battalion; kia 1/11/16 on The Somme.
