Description: | A militia button of the Twickenham Volunteers.TWICKENHAM VOLS around a crown. The maker's backmark is IOHN WILLIAMS of London.John Newman comments:Although the backmark is usually associated with the early volunteer era this button dates to the unit's raising in early September 1803 with a strength of 100 effectives. As the Local Militia Act was not applied to Middlesex as a county the unit may have served through until 1814 but was possibly disbanded earlier so date wise 1803-c1814.
