The Anglesey badge is for the Womens Institute.

I will attach the basic WI badge with this post, note the colours.

There were also all sorts of local variations, such as the one you have.

I believe that the WI came here from Canada during WW1, note maple leaf.

Billy,

I am pretty sure the AAC "for King and Country" badge is an Association of Conservative Clubs badge.
