My interest in the badges stems from my research into the history of women in engineering work.

I have searched in vain for a ‘World War 1’ equivalent to Jon Mills excellent volume ‘Doing their bit’. The above links in the various posts make an excellent starting point for understanding the difference between the ‘Official’ and ‘Unofficial’ badges. However, one of the joys in collecting the ‘Unofficial’ badges is researching about the companies involved. It is fascinating.
