Default The Mercury

Hi, I have just picked up this badge. I have been lead to believe that it is The Natal Mercury War Correspondent badge from WW1. Can anyone confirm this? Thank you. Regards Andrew

Andrew,

I do believe that pre 94 the papers full name was "The Natal Mercury", Natal being dropped, not sure when? If it is then it is a stunner, will do some digging.
