HMS Excellent
1 Attachment(s)
I have been told that HMS Excellent was the gunnery school on Whale Island, this badge has loops North and South and measures 42mm wide x 38mm deep.
Does anyone have any further information as to who wore this badge and what period. Thanks in advance. Rob |
Sorry I can’t help with any info Rob. But what a beautiful badge! Thanks for showing.

One was sold at auction a few years ago as a school of gunnery cap badge.......

Thanks chaps for the replies, I was under the impression as someone told me years ago it was possibly worn by a gun team for a competition, however, as Simon has pointed me in the direction of two items on ebay for sale which are the same and a similar pouch badge I am extremely grateful for the knowledge.
At present it's on my Naval badge board and will reside there until further notice, one of my favourite badges which I have had for fifty years. Thanks again Rob |
Its a lovely badge.
Wish I could say the same about my experiences of diving at HMS Excellent - getting a mask full of jellyfish was one particular highlight... |
