I think the answer is yes, but a number of members here are experts on Home Guard insignia so hopefully one of them will give a definitive answer to the question.

P.B.

Sorry About The duplicate post Chaps, I'm Struggling to Navigate On this site. I lost The Original Post.

The 11th Ministry Of Food Bn Denbigh HQ kind of makes sense if these other badges belong to the same recipient?

I believe the cape belonged to a nurse in the north Wales area, They may well be a couple of other interesting ones on there to

That's a beautiful cape - one of the best I've ever seen - with some cracking rare and expensive patches on it. That women's HG patch is extremely rare - technically, more than any of the others on the cape. The other day, someone was trying to flog one on evilbay for £500.
