Default sa irish badge

hi dudley, the cast brass badge you show in the photo is more commonly known as the SIDI REZEGH badge, named after the battle in 1941 where the battalion took a terrible beating suffering very heavy casualties. these badges were made locally in theatre, hence the very rough appearance, however i cannot say how short a period this badge was in use for. regards john
