Re: The South Wales Borderers Comrades Club
I just recently acquired the South Wales Borderers Comrades Club from an auction on e-bay and thought I should show this rare lapel badge.
The South Wales Borderers Comrades Club which was formed on Rorke’s Drift Day (23rd/24th January) 1909 at Oudenarde Barracks, Aldershot. Anymore information regarding the comrades club would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! How rare is this badge? Regards, TheBreaker02. Last edited by Breaker02; 19-04-14 at 03:41 PM.

I would have thought it was quite rare although the rarity "level" would depend on whether it was only given/sold to ex-soldiers who were there or given/sold to any member of the regiment who wanted one at the time. Still a nice badge to anyone collecting items relating to the SWB - which I assume is why you are asking about its rarity...

My Grandfather was SWB 1907-1919 and I amongst the material of his that I have is an identical Old Comrades lapel badge. Also a similar design but slightly smaller and reading "Regimental Association" around the circlet.
