Hi Wayne, It may be. I just wish I could get a possitive ID on it. Thanks for the comments. Andrew

Hi, this one has been dormant for a very long time. Has anybody picked up some new knowledge, or somebody new joined who may be able to ID this badge. Please have another look. Regards Andrew

Hi Andrew.
A mystery indeed. I love the occasional challenge. I've spent the past 3/4 s of an hour or so on t'internet trying all sorts of stuff with the letters, even trying Windsor Castle Volunteers and Victoria's Witch's Convention.............it wasn't them. I do believe that, as has already been mentioned, it is connected with The West Indies Regiment. It certainly has the same wreaths as a couple of their badges. This for example, minus the ribbon where the wreaths join: http://www.cariwave.com/the_british_...s_regiment.htm How about West Carribbean Volunteers.....but I can't find anything on that either. Or Western Cape Volunteers, but that's not mentioned either. I love a mystery, there is somebody who will always have the answer. Nice badge by the way. Hope the answer is not too long in coming. Regards Brian |

You don't think it is South African?

Hi Frank, it's just the wreath that makes me think that it isn't. I would love for it to be South African . I would really like to move it out of my unknown box. Can you add anything? Regards Andrew

Just a thought, could it be Wainuiomata Volunteer Corps!!
Maybe our fellow New Zealanders could confirm. |
