Harp badge
The Harp badge is the Royal Ulster Constabulary pre 1953.

I believe the collar with dragon & China is a Royal Berkshire Reg collar badge.

According to Gaylor, the large Gloucester back badge was introduced in 1918 to celebrate the back-to-back stand at Festubert. It proved to be unpopular and permission was granted in 1935 to revert to the smaller badge.

Collar with dragon & China
The collar with dragon & China is The Border Regt, the grenade with castle is the Inniskilling Fusiliers.
The 1st Cadet Btn KRR is a collar badge. Rob Last edited by Sonofacqms; 07-01-19 at 05:43 PM. |

The 2 RAF badges appear to be Sgt Aircrew badges - one of a pair (facing), these being for the left sleeve (facing to the rear). I'm not 100% on the style of fixing for the black one - but being black I'd suggest that it's RAAF (it may actually be part of the 2 part officers field service hat badge).
Regards, Craig |
