qui s'y frotte s'y pique with Field Gun ?

[Robbo]

Hi
I wonder if anyone might be able to throw any light on the badge below ?
I recently came by it in a collectibles shop.
It looked interesting but I haven't been able to find any information about it.
I'm not sure what it represents but assume it could be French ?
It's made from Silver and has two rear eyelets which might have been used to suspend it from a bar ?
Any Ideas would be greatly welcomed.

Looks like a French 75mm field gun so I'm leaning to something French related..

They were sold for the benefit of the war effort

Hi Didier
Thanks for the link. I guess it's a souvenir or sweetheart type of brooch in that case ?
