Two Navy buttons. Like I understand one is from WW2 and worn by sailors from convoys?

Hi,
The "CONWAY" button was for the Naval training establishment of that name.
I have a similar button marked "WORCESTER", another training establishment.
Cheers, Tinto

The RAF buttons are both World War II era - I still have a couple that belonged to my late father who served in Bomber Command then.

The button with the coat of arms is a livery button, worn on the coat of a servant. You can write down the motto on the scroll and search the internet for the family.
