This badge mounted as a Sweetheart belonged to RSM J Freakley (Sgt during the war) from Stone Staffordshire worn by his Wife.
I collect to all services from Stone Staffordshire.

Hi Stephen,
What's your take on why the regiment wore badges with a QVC at that time? I assume they must have had large stocks of that badge? Like Dean, I'm going to have to try and track down a QVC Staffs Yeomanry hat badge.
Regards,
Mick
