Default Another lucky find....a double this time.

From the same source as my lucky Citizens Volunteer Force cap badge, I picked up this two badges today. Two different fixings so I was even more pleased.

Volunteer Entertainment Services, Northern Command.

As the name suggest, a volunteer organisation, akin to the better know ENSA.

Not common badges. Nice to have both fittings, too.

Thanks for the info. Can I ask if you have any recommended source material for such badges? I have the usual K&K, Davis, Wilkinson etc. But none cover these as far as I am aware. Bosley’s has been my main source for such items.

This badge and many other similar Home Front badges appears in this book, which is the bible on the subject:
