If you have a CCS, Officers HB that is waisting valuable space in your collection - - and needs a new home -- please contact me!!!
Larry. There is a pix of this badge on page 71 of the Supplementary Volume, The Royal Corps of Signals Unit Histories of the Corps (1920-2001). (note it is the second book of 2 and deals almost exclusively with Commonwealth Signals history). It is a rare sweethart badge made of bronze. Think it was made in the 1920s for those who had served in Engineer Signals in WW1. It has a pin back.
