Also on the forum are details of other awards and insignia such as cap eagles, it may be possible to identify your cap eagles to a particular manufacturer or theatre of production.

I would think that there will be details on the forum of the 2 Corps badges that you have (I bought one of the largest sized 2 Corps badges a few days ago (as I recall there were four sizes)).

Great help, did a quick search on War Relics. The batch which my number falls within were issued to the 5th Light Artillery Regt. Also referred to as the 5th Wilenski Light Artillery Rgt. This regiment being a part of the 5th Division. So far it lines up with the group.
Thanks
Jack
