Default Id of these patches please?
Could the membership identify these two patches? Are red on navy/black Royal Navy?

Hi,

Firstly, happy new year!

These definitely look like Navy Patches, but cannot find exact matches. Could they be Canadian / Australian? Perhaps some Navy experts from the Navy section of the Forum might be able to assist.

The one with a star looks like a stores / logistics badge.

Whereas could the one with a cross be something Padre related?

Halfway down in this link, there is one similar to the badge with the star:

Many thanks and best regards.

Could they potentially be reservist ones (R.N.R.) as these could differ slightly from the Regular Royal Navy ones?

Sometimes fire brigade patches can look naval, just a thought.
