That diamond is bugging me, I have seen it on a jacket or in a folder somewhere in the last few days, in which case it should be pre 1914.

Bottom row:
Left - RE Trg Bde and Centre - 1 Can Army RCA/1 and 2 AGRA RCA - are both perfect - the former is post WW2 and the latter is WW2.

The diamond (or lozenge) was worn up until circa 1980s as the proficiency qualification badge by CCF units at which point they adopted (or readopted ?) the ACF Cert A style red full and half stars. I think in the dim and distant past it was also used as a proficiency badge by the pre 1908 Volunteers but my money would be on this ebing a CCF example.

Thanks all, that has been quite a lot of info. I can at least relocate some mispositioned items.
Looking forward to have the titles authenticated, and if so, a time-frame of use.

Hi PL, CCF it is then, as I have spent the last two days looking at ACF/CCF (R.Anglian) Badges if a few collections/stores.

The Aussie ones are ok. None of them are rare and I wouldn't expect fakes of them to be around.

Unfortunately, a member of this forum has reproduced/faked a few of the more rarer Aussie battledress flashes.
