Another similar unknown
Here is another similar but larger white metal badge with 'BCB'. The placement and sizes of the letters indicates to me that it is probably BCB not CBB. British Columbia Band??

Thanks Simon. BB obviously could only be 'Brass Band' and no doubt MB is "Marching Band'. The reason I kept it was that I thought it might have
been 'Heavy Mortar Battery'. Live and learn.
