Three badges: stamped sheet silver, engraved brass, Firmin London.

The two sheet metal badges were made in Salisbury by Keay's the Jewellers during WW2. The Firmin badge was issued after WW2. Have attached some unit cards I have made from the badges in my collection for info. Regards.

Dudley, thank you for the information.
This and the Southern Rhodesia Commando but what other WW2 military badges did Keays make? I have heard they made a LRDG badge but have yet to see an image of one. Many thanks and enjoy the hobby Keith

SRRU Badges
The SRRU became te SRRR as the Army expanded in WW11. It should be noted that their colours were red & white & not red & yellow. The SRACR used these colours later. Please see the attached set of cap badges & note the SRRU title which was worn on a red & white backing. These were my fathers badges of his WW11 service.
