Am sure someone more Knowledgeable will answer these for you but could the "R-R" be Rough Riders? The "M-L" be Mounted Lancers? "B-A-T-C" I have seen this somewhere but at a loss for now or be something similar but not this one you posted!

The RR is probably Rand Rifles, the BATG is obviously a town guard badge but I can't find any reference to what BA would stand for amongst my reference material.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I though RR might be Rand Rifles, so it probably is. I think the other title is BATC, not BATG. Could it be ...Telegraph Company? - So maybe a signals connection? Also, ML for mounted Lancers doesn't really make sense, seems like stating the obvious, though it is possible.
Cheers,

Hi All
Been told the ML title is Indian, Mysore Lancers, WWI.
Cheers,
Alex
