I believe a WM badge exactly like that has been previously identified on here as St George English Rifles (New South Wales) centre. However, I’ve seen one such plate with the centre in situ and the floral pattern on the grass was different, so this attribution may be in doubt.
I have also seen these sold as 6th Middlesex (St. George’s) Rifle Volunteer Corps items. Also perhaps worth mentioning officers of the 1st Middlesex (Victoria’s) Rifle Volunteer Corps wore a similar design collar.
An identical GM badge was sold on the Quartermaster Store described as ‘Northumberland Fusiliers Officers Grenade Device converted into a Sweetheart Brooch’, item Code: 61210.
Edit: I hadn’t seen posts #5 - 7 when I started typing... that’ll teach me to post whilst watching Star Trek!
