Thanks,

Firstly the blue one is a Trench Mortar Gunner. Usually all blue rather than just blue flames.

The second is very unusual. It is clearly representing an Infantry Bomber, BUT, most unusually it has a wreath around it like most British/Commonwealth trade badges, which is unofficial and I have not seen before. Also it is all red rather than just red flames (the opposite of the TMG badge above)

You also have an inter war/WW2 Bullion rank badge of a Warrant Officer Class 1 (RSM usually) and a crossed rifles surmounted by a crown prize badge or Sgt Instructors badge (worn over his chevrons)

Nice badges which I would love to own. I am quite envious. PM me if you wish to part with any or all of the 4.

regards
