Default Home Guard badges
Bala,

According to files in the PRO there were units in Herefordshire and Caernarfon but nowhere else in Wales or the Welsh border counties of England.
I've attached a photo, taken from WO199/3389.

Looking in Postwarden's book there is a picture of a title worn in Suffolk. It is SFK over 202. Jon also has a photo of a locally made CC over 202 which he attributes to a locally made Caernarfon badge.

Tha badge you showed on your post is attributed to one unofficially worn by a unit of the Women's Home Defence, attached to 11 Denbighshire (Ministry of Food) Bn, HG. Again, this is shown in Jon's book.


Stephen.
