Possibly Belgium/French? During WW1 a letter "A" in a flaming bomb was used by the French Motor Car Section. Last edited by atillathenunns; 21-09-16 at 08:41 AM.

Hello voltigeur,
Je pense que le Major P de B Brandon porte le cap badge du 6th reinforcement Battalion....Que fait-il dans le Pay corps?? Captain H D Dansay porte bien le très rare Maori Pioneers cap badge. J'en ai un trouvé à Arras.... Have a nice day in Québec! Jean-Paul

After less than a year on the Active List he transferred to the 6th Manawatu Mounted Rifles on the 5th September 1911, and embarked with them at the beginning of WW1. After Gallipoli he was transferred to the NZAPC with the rank of Major, and at the end of the war he was absorbed back into the 6th Manawatu Mounted Rifles. During WW2 he served as Captain with the Wellington home guard.
