Three More Unknowns

[Dr_Shemp]

I've recently bought another three badges that I haven't been able to identify, would anyone be able to shed any light on them please?

The E.P. badge is about 4cm in diameter and the W (or M) badge is about 2.5cm. They're of similar manufacture so I'm sure they're both related. The red on black design is similar to some AFS/NFS and ARP badges, but I haven't been able to find any matches online.

The AB lapel badge with the Kent Invicta design is 2.5cm in diameter and has the Fattorini makers mark 'Thomas Fattorini LTD Regent St Birmingham' on the reverse. It has a serial number stamped on the front, and is very similar to WW2-era 'on war service' type badges, but I haven't seen a chromed example of one of these badges before. Any ideas?

Thanks for looking!

The two red on black cloth badges were issued by the Girls' Life Brigade.
The 'EP' badge was for 'Elementary Proficiency'; the smaller 'W' badge signified 'Wool Embroidery' and was worn in conjunction with the 'Needlecraft' badge to show proficiency in wool embroidery.

George thank you very much for the identification, I've never heard of the Girls' Life Brigade before and I don't think I would have ever identified those by myself! Not sure how they'll fit in with the rest of my collection though, oh well!
