Default Women's Home Defence badges

1) The badge of the Women's Home Defence, founded by Labour MP Edith Summerskill in late 1941, depicting crossed rifles and pistol on a shield

2) A less common badge is a silver example from the Sevenoaks branch formed in about March 1942.

3) The third badge may or not be WHD. Also made in silver, it has the appearance of being 'home-made'. The configuration of lettering suggests a WHD connection but I cannot be certain though it did come with other military badges
