Home Guard letters and numerals for Glamorgan. If worn with the 103 they would be the arm badges for 130 (!03 Glamorganshire Home Guard) AA Rocket Battery of 28th Anti Aircraft Regiment Home Guard which was based in Swansea.

Jon, I really cannot tolerate these hopelessly imprecise answers! Mike

That is remarkable for speed and detail. Would you think then that the extra bits may belong together Plum |

Almost certainly.
The Home Guard shoulder title and the Corporal's stripes are standard Home Guard items. The gold bar is a wound stripe, interestingly of the pattern authorised for wounds sustained in the Second World War as those for wounds sustained in the First World War were red. If it came with the GLS Home Guard items it indicated that the owner was wounded in the Second World War. Wounds to Home Guards were not unheard of but were unusual so the owner may have served in the Regular Forces, been wounded and invalided out and then joined the Home Guard and put up his wound stripe. It could also of course be from a completely different soldier! Jon |
