Thanks for that - I had heard of a sweetheart broach, but didn't know what it was. Grandad was only 16 when he joined up in 1914 (lied about his age), so he wasn't married to Gran at the time. Maybe a girlfriend, or his mum may have worn it??
I am trying to piece together the military history of my family, so thought that starting with medals & badges would be a good start. So pleased that I found your forum!!!
Thanks again
