What do you mean by "north-south" post, are we talking about the direction of the pin on the back?

I'm guessing this one must have a Yorkshire connection because of the badge centre, but the pin back also puts another question in my mind.

The war service badges are assumed to be male or female owned because of the fitting on the back, but at what point do we stop using that?

When did men stop wearing suits that could take the half moon fitting and start wearing pin on badges?

Did this badge belong to the wife of an old contemptible who was allowed to be a patron of the club or was it the mans?
