A small collection of insignia, that belonged to a WW1 British Army soldier, in the possession of his family continuously, includes a few items (some damaged) unrelated to units in which he served. One is a Rising Sun badge. It is believed to date to WW1. I knew nothing about this badge but Internet ‘research’, including a quick look through this subforum, indicates the long history of the badge, its multiple makers, manufacture in the UK and in Australia, and its use in more than one capacity. The most recent “custodian” of the badge has provided photographs.
We wish to know of anything which might indicate an origin other than WW1, what type of badge it is and any other information that may be gathered from it. The hope is that accurate information will help engage the following generation. Any help will be gratefully received.
