General Service badge brooch backs.

[Donny B.]

I have noticed from time to time that the odd General Service collar badge has a brooch type back fitting. Some of these look to be very well done.

Are these simply intended as "sweetheart brooches" or where they have another purpose. Can anyone give me some info on them?

Most of the ones I have seen seem to have that brassy WW1 look about them.
