A larger one of 31mm in diameter and a smaller one of 23mm in diameter.
The largest is a New Zealand tunneleer. It comes from New Zealand....
They dug the galleries connecting the old quarries under the city of Arras before the offensive of April 9, 1917 and many others in the region, not to mention the mine tunnels ....

Sorry i don't find the title...

Hello Jean-Paul,
Thanks for sharing your badges. My wife and I visited the Arras quarries in 2008.
Kind Regards,
John
