Badges help please
New member looking for help.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction over the first badge with the enamelled W and 50 on it plus with the grenade collar badges, I am pretty happy with the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers difference but what is the one with the Marine motto? Royal Marine Artillery? And for all 3 what sort of period are they from please? WW1? https://photos.app.goo.gl/d9qLWvHhdRMTTwR7A https://photos.app.goo.gl/K42encHpXAcZt5EPA https://photos.app.goo.gl/cATaNYMciXXNPyoT9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/mKzFdR47DNkuCmtYA https://photos.app.goo.gl/CBv5SYXVPBCsahST6 |

Technical note: I've removed the embedding image tags in the opening post as I don't think google allows their image hosting to be used in that way. (they block it from working - I don't know why) you will just have to click the links.

I believe 3 (and 5) with ubique are Royal Artillery officers' bronzed collar badges.
4 - a guess from the design and motto (by land and sea) Royal Marine Artillery. Chris Last edited by CAM; 04-07-20 at 04:29 PM. Reason: Typo |

The last one is Royal Engineers.

Simon, Please help me understand the difference, because to me 3 and 5 look the same. I have never really understood the difference. I have also seen a smooth cannon ball version and figured it was Engineers?
Thanks, Terry |

No 4 is a Royal Marine Artillery Officers Service Dress collar badge, worn from approx. 1918 to 1923

The Royal Engineers have an additional two flames at the front above the grenade and the Royal Artillery does not. So they have 9 flames and 7 flames respectively above Ubique. Thank you all for the info so far |
