CEF: NBMGD metal badge

[any1oldname]

Hello,

I recently found in family memorabilia a metal badge in red and gold/bronze?. The letters are N.B.M.G.D. in gold/bronze with a red background, and below it the letters C.E.F. in the gold/bronze colour of the badge. It's about 4 cm wide. I think it belonged to an uncle who fought in World War One.

Can anyone identify it for me please. Is it for a cap, a shoulder or shirt badge, or . . .?

I vaguely remember seeing one many years ago with a line reading CANADA at the bottom, but this does not have that. That's about all I can say.

Thanks to anyone interested enough to respond.

Not my area of expertise but could be New Brunswick Machine Gun Draft. Sure a more knowledgeable member will know for sure. A picture would also help.

Regards Simon.

Hello any1oldname, an image would be helpful.

Thanks for the two responses. I'll try to get a photo today.

This thread from several years ago has a couple of good illustrations.

The $35 officer shoulder title referred to in that thread was one I purchased for Ron Edwards (Powell River and Merritt). Ron passed away three years ago in Merritt. He had planned to publish a book on Canadian Machine Gun history but I don't know if he did so.

Ron was a very knowledgeable and helpful fellow.
