Central Association VTC
Earlier today, I picked up a badges for the Central Association VTC with a pin back.
I can find various other examples on the internet with either a pin fastening or a buttonhole fastening. What I can't find though is why there are 2 variations. Can someone please enlighten me?

As a general rule, pin = for women and buttonhole = for men.

Hi
I thought the VTC was for men only?? and women could join the VAD which may have attached itself to a local unit but had their own VAD badges. Paul |

Thanks for that. I did wonder if the pin back was for women but, like Paul, I thought that the VTC was for men only.

I did say as a General rule.
Early enamel VTC badges can be found with both fittings, my selection for Manchester do, so specifically for the VTC the male/female rule doesnt apply. BUT This is the Association, an organisation that no doubt had a support network of employees of which its fair to assume in wartime many would have been female. regards

Thanks Simon, that sounds feasible.
