Steve,

that is very interesting but without wishing to appear pedantic, the badges with sliders may not have been worn on active service, but if they were made for the GMP association and worn by members who served in the GMP then they have technically come from an exGMP.

Do you have any information about when they were made and offered to members of the GMP Association? I imagine that there would have been mention of it in the GMP Association journal at the time.
