An interesting collection of badges.
Some information on the Norwegian unit is contained in my book ['In the Space of a Single Day - The Uniforms and Insignia of the Home Guard 1940 to 1944 and 1952-1956' [/I]Available as a reprint from MLRS Publishers. See their website
The Stretcher Bearer title is included in the book as it is often identified as an HG item but is not. It was worn on a brown boiler suit by hospital stretcher bearers working as part of the wartime Emergency Medical Service.
