The second and third are standard other ranks beret badges to the Royal Observer Corps, No 2 being Kings crown, 1941 up to 1953, No 3 being Queens Crown, post 1953 but looks to be anodised so most likely 60s to 80s.
No 4 is an Observer Corps lapel badge, often worn as a cap badge on the beret by OC members. If a horseshoe fixing its a mans, pin back its a womans. Probably early war, up to 1941. No 5 is the same for the Royal Observer Corps, post 1941 up to the early 1950s. Due to the fact the ROC had cap badges by then, I dont think this was ever worn by members as a cap badge. No 1 the same as No 5 but post 1953. Looks to be 1970s or 80s. |

Nice. There was also an 'economy' version, in gold silk thread rather than bullion wire...

I knew he was interested in these badges and insignia but didn't know that he had published anything. The 1st I knew of it was at his funeral when the corp sent a message of condolence. If you want I could ask the family if they know where you could get his book from. David Rookley |
