Here are the two badges that my grandfather wore in the 2nd WW - and grandmother's brooch to boot!


(sadly there are no [KLR] badges of his from the 1st WW)

They may all have been worn by your grandfather. The brooched badge with the stout pin was worn on a pith helmet attached to the puggaree with the pin.

Thanks but it has my grandmother's initials on the back. Actually I didn't know we had it until recently. Anyway, I thought it was an interesting trio.
