Default 1st Pembrokeshire (Tenby) Bn home guard grouo

I picked this lot up today after seeing yesterday in a local antiques center.

It was said to have been bought just the other day and was as found within a Craven A ciggies tin.

The lot includes 3 sets of PEM 1, a pair of titles, a single corporal chevron, a 4 year long service patch, a defense medal ribbon and a single red rectangle of wool which I assume is a company id within the bn.

The red rectangle is in fact a red diamond HG proficiency badge, worn above the right BD cuff.

Thanks for the information on the red diamond badge.

I paid more than I would have liked....

That piece of red cloth, no matter which way you turn it could never be a diamond. Must be something else?
