Its actually an individually numbered F.A.U badge from the contingent sent to China in 1941.

Book on the China convoy http://www.sacu.org/fau.html
Does anyone have a copy of the book to hand (its on my 'to get' list) and would it be possible to check if the badge number corresponds to any individual listed in a roll of personnel in the book (if it exists in the book that is )

Try the Quaker Library in the Euston Road.
They have some FAU records from WW1 and possibly from WW2 as well.
If they turn out not to have the WW2 records, they will know who does:
