Hello everybody,
1st) Happy new year for all of you.
2nd) I like New zealand cap badges.
I have another engineers cap badges, from "tunnellers company" which measure 4.5cm high and about 3cm wide.
These men have finished tunnels under Arras for the "bataille d'Arras" in april 1917.....
Sorry my picture is upside down.....
Excuse my poor english

Hi Jean,
Happy new year to you too?
I’m no expert but yours looks to be English manufacturing,
Very interesting about tunnels it’s fascinating indeed!
Your badge the right way up !
Kind regards Chay

Thank you Tweed,

I am not expert enough. These "tunnelers" arrived in North of France in 1916, There were also Maori in these companies
I have another cap badge.
Thank you for returning my photo :)

Jean,
Wow that’s a splendid cap badge!
Yes I can imagine the pioneers were also tasked with that outlandish warfare style as were miners from Yorkshire!
Kind regards Chay
