• The Souvenir Stable Belt. In WW1 it became common for soldiers to collect the badges and shoulder titles of various units and secure them to belts thus commemorating all those units with which they had contact. Both normal leather and stable belts were used for this, but the latter was most popular as the extra depth of the stable belt allowed for more badges to be affixed

Can anyone identify the Belt? It has a leather pouch, A button on the back for a shoulder strap, and a d ring on the front. It also has another pouch for a watch? The owner was Canadian.
Welcome to CyberAsylum, aka CW. You need to hang around if this is your interest as there are people here you need to meet.
There is a military collector or two around here. Which reminds me I haven't seen petey or battlegear lately.
Thanks I will. My collection varies but all military cheers
Nice souvenir belt!
The belt looks to be ceremonial-- maybe a Scottish unit or one with Scottish lineage.

m sorry I can't help you with the regiment for this stable belt., but as to the unidentified buttons, The one with the rampant lion is Belgian, I believe the plain buttons are German, and the one you have tentatively identified as French is actually a German Companie button.
Nice thanks
