Hi can you help on these badges please! The badge on the Right enamelled with "B" - "C" British Columbia, what is it and is it Military?

To the left, Well!! are you into puzzles? Put these onto the British site and this was speculated to be Canadian possibly? Though it has an English makers mark for Aldershot, ?? Any help appreciated.

Canadian Maple Leaf havdchad this on here before and is a piece of Jewellery, I think? All the best Billy

Many thanks in Advance Billy

Hi billy,
The BC badge is not military and I am not sure it is even for British Columbia. The leaf at the bottom is not a maple leaf, but there are other leaves it may represent. One is a species of plant from Australia.

I don't think the BC badge is military, although it does bear some similarity to portions of the regimental crest of 5th (BC) Field Regiment RCA.
