B.G.H. Red Cross badge??

OK, here's another one. 19.5mm across the arms and made in exactly the same style as the WW1 Red Cross nurse's pins. Brooch fastener. B?? General Hospital?

Thanks.

Good guess

Magpie, I just checked my list and that's officially the last thing I would have thought of. Good one though.

Help with lapel pins. Canadian etc.

I bought these from a Sally Anne about a mile from a base so I expect some are military. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The one on the right is Oliver Hardy, about 150 lbs before he made all those movies with Stan Laurel.

The one on the left. That's the one for me even though I haven't got a clue what it is.

Point taken Wardog.

Does this BBE group look right?

I'm not a medal collector but I tripped across this on eBay last night. It doesn't look right. The spacing on the ribbons is all wrong. I would expect an OBE would be engraved. I have no idea...

Car Bumper?

Right, well those bosses look like they are for pressing into a hole in metal and perhaps peening over. Have the military ever made badges like that for cars like auto club badges? It's a good size...

Thanks Bill.

Thanks for that Bill. I really appreciate it though I don't completely understand why they would do that. In my understanding, during the post WW2 years the government was not willing to fund all...

Militia but, active militia during the war. Having said that, a confusing article in a 1962 brochure that I am currently selling on ebay mentions the creation of "The 1st Fort Garry Horse, Fourth...

Medals on Battledress?

I've come across a mid 1960's photo of a Canadian regiment wearing medals on battledress. Is that not incorrect? I thought they were worn on dress uniforms only.

Thanks,

So I'm guessing that the Dumdum arsenal (and I never knew there was such a place) pioneered dumdum bullets? Wain was a talent, that's for sure.
