Hi Bungo,
A nice lot you have there.
Most of the badges are self-explanatory but here are some comments for you:
A. This is a patch (worn at top of back of a NZ soldier's tunic) for the 2nd Battalion of the Canterbury Infantry Regiment, red over blue, so your illustration is on its side.
B. These are 3 years service stripes worn point upwards on the lower right sleeve of tunic.
C. Is a Marine Light Infantry collar badge.
D. Is an Artillery or Engineers collar badge, also worn by Fusilier Regiments on the shoulder strap with title.
E. Is a hat badge.
F. As you say, a Royal Navy button.
G. Is a souvenir brooch.
J. New Zealand Mounted Rifles shoulder title, correct.
M. 20th Reinforcements collar badge.
N. 13th (North Canterbury and Westland) Infantry Regiment hat badge.
O. Rifle Brigade Reinforcement badge (SOYES FERME).
P. Collar badge of 1st (Canterbury) Infantry Regiment
Q. Collar badge of 25th Reinforcements.
Hope this is of some help.
Cheers, Tinto
