The Instructional Corps badges are a set in WM and a good quality aluminium hat badge with painted scrolls, unknown.
Have included a couple of enamelled Sigs variations and would be interested in comments.

R in wreath was worn by machine-gun range-takers of infantry and light horse units. The w/m version would therefore be post 1930s for qualified personnel of the D or E (Support) Companies of Scottish inf bns equipped with Vickers MMG, and the MG Troops or Squadrons of Light Horse Regiments with Hotchkiss MG or perhaps Vickers MMG later.
Can't explain the red/white-yellow/gold crossed flags, not something for a merchant marine shipping company is it?
