New and looking through old family badges
 
1 Attachment(s)
I found:
- Duke of Wellington's Regiment in two versions - one for each battalion. Certainly my great uncle was in the 2nd Battalion on Western Front, Macedonia and post WW1, Ireland where he was killed.
- KSLI - not so sure to which relative these belonged to but one side of the family came from Shropshire, so it is perfectly logical to have these.
- Some Home Guard shoulder flashes (my father) and some unused sergent's stripes (a level to which I don't think he reached)
- various Somerset Light Infantry - logical as I was brought up in Taunton

But I don't recognise this:-

Hello SH Berkhamsted, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
The badge is the Women's Volunteer badge, circa the First WW, if iiuc.

There was only one pattern of cap badge worn by all the battalions of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment.

Thank you for the identification.

Re: Duke of Wellington's Regiment, if the cap badge remained the same, http://www.dwr.org.uk/wp-content/upl...-Badge-RLH.jpg

As you referred to the Great War I assumed you meant the cap badges worn during that period.
