Thanks for all the information. It is good to get some background information on the family.
My grandad was born, lived & died in Battersea, SW8. But according to family stories, he is believed to have gone to Essex to enlist - I have nothing to prove this.
From the details you have give, it does appear that the other badge I have is from the Scots Guards - having the latin motto, cross etc. Only difference is that it doesn't appear to be brass. It is quite shiny and seems to be some sort of alloy. It has JR Gaunt, London written on the reverse.
Regards
Mandy
