Default My latest WW1 Souvenir Badge Belt

I bought this today. A few unusual badges including the small 'A' denoting an Australian Gallipoli veteran. These were affixed to the Battalion cloth patch.The badges are fixed to a 1914 pattern leather equipment wait belt.

Regards


Mark

Thanks all for the comments, all the badges have 'sunk' into the leather. The Tyneside Irish is on North South lugs.

Kind regards
