Default Three Titles for Identification

Three titles in Brass / Gilding Metal for positive identification please:

MY - 'hand made and soldered' ...... Yeomanry ?

N R YORKS - smallish letters - Red Cross or other civilian use - North Riding of Yorkshire ?

RAA - made from separate letters R A A - Royal Artillery Association ?

You are correct with 2 BRCS but 3 I believe is Royal Australian Artillery

Definitely Royal Arty Association. I have two sizes of them but don't know anything about the association or its badges and uniforms.

Thanks all for identifying the N R YORKS and RAA titles.

Any ideas on the MY titles?

Tim
