Phillip,
Thanks for your reply. I think you're certainly on to something here. The insignia appears to match the Queen's one.
A google search has revealed that the "Science at Home" was what the annual Engineering balls we once called. However, this seems a rather expensive badge to produce for a one evening event.
Perhaps an award of some sort...anyone have a guess at the specific use?
I agree the "42" suggests possibly the class of '42 or simply commemorating the year of 1942.
There is another badge that came from the same source that I knew was not military, and judging from the colours...I'd say it also has a connection to Queen's. It's dated 1841-1941 so this would support the theory the badge discussed is from 1942.
A bit of a weird one!
Adam
