Post 'NRNOCA' Royal Navy Old Comrades Association
Hello everyone,

Just purchased this badge from e-bay and wonder if anyone knows what the "N" prior to Royal Navy Old Comrades Association refers too. On the reverse shows the initials A M and the number 42.

I look forward to hearing anyone's comments.

Many thanks,

TheBreaker02

Hi

Only a guess but could the "N" refer to the place/location of the OCA - eg "Newcastle" RN OCA?
