A Household Division "Septum Juncta In Uno" Cloth Badge?
2 Attachment(s)
Does anyone know what this is please?
Presumably it's connected to the The Household Division. It has the appearance of a beret badge but is it a formation sign worn by attached personnel, by civilian staff or by a training unit? I've seen a reference to it being "possibly" worn by Household Division WRAC, I don't see it as being a version of their Trained Soldier badge. |
Leigh,
Certainly when I was an Instructor at the Guards Depot in the 80's I never saw the WRAC attached staff wearing anything similar. Possibly a sports or shooting badge for a Guards Depot Team although the size seems small. Simon. |
Thanks, yes, it seems small for sports or shooting badge (I should've posted its dimensions but didn't have a measure to hand).
It's size and overall appearance suggest beret badge but I can't see it being worn as such or on a helmet cover given the style of Guards beret badges and backings and no apparent reason for Guards personnel to wear a Household Division badge. |
Perhaps a shooting team or Household Division Yacht Club baseball cap badge?
(But please, not a badge for one of those regimental Teddy bears......). |

Leigh,
Given that Septum is part of human nose I suspect an error or fake, whatever it is! Here are two larger sports badges correctly spelt (in Latin) SEPTEM Tim |
Tracksuits badges i believe.

I have one as shown by Leigh in first post. It clearly has been worn somewhere. Also a possible predecessor with ‘Quinque Juncta in Uno’

I hadn't noticed the misspelling on the badge - the reverse of the badge is similar to that of some beret badges I have. |

An embroidered version of the badge but with the correct "Septem" spelling was part of a collection of ATS / WRAC insignia offered for sale at auction (I haven't a note of the date).
It was paired with a WRAC anod. al. Trained Soldier breast badge and labelled as " may have been worn on jersey or overalls, or even in a beret". |
