It is not documented in any reference book. I only became aware of it through a photograph held at the Castle military museum showing officers of the unit wearing this badge. So when I saw this for sale, I knew what it was.
And now anyone reading this knows what to look out for .... Regards Steven |

Thank you Steven. There are likely lots of other units that wore this coat of arms type of badge(not specifically this one). Maybe never be able to ID all of them. Regards Andrew

The attached is also a Coat of Arms general service badge worn during the First World War. As has been said, a number of units wore this type badge for a short while. This one has a slider and is Firmin made.
