Default unknown badges from various sites
Have a look at these badges and tell me if they were ever worn by NZ Army and what do they stand for.

The first one reminds me of a cavalry sleeve badge, but I can't think which one.

Hi John
I believe the epaulettes are used by recruits during Basic military training and indicate the 'platoon' they are in.
Cheers Gareth

Default 5 (WWCT) Battalion Group Puggary & SD patch
John, this patch was going to be worn on the 150th birthday parade but for some reason wasn't, a few Officers of the unit wore the patch afterwards until the 2012 reorg.

Rangi.

The last one is easy, its a QVC crown Bandsman. Worn before the well known bandsman badge of today.
