Hi to all the British collectors out there. I do not have a copy of Kipling and King so perhaps someone can fill me in on this British? badge.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,
This is a cap badge to the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps.This is a nice WW1 badge as the W.A.A.C were raised in 1917 and then became the Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1918 with a change of cap badge.So your badge was only in existence for about 1 yr.
Hope this helps
Colin

Hi Greg, to answer your question this badge (KK1066) is for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Formed in 1917 from about 7,000 members of The Women's Legion. The OR's badge in guilding-metal and the Officers in in guilt and also in bronze. And I suppose disbanded at the end of the war.
Hoping that will help you.
Cheers,
Jo

Nice to have a numbered badge!

The title changes depending on where you look;

Women's Army Auxiliary Corps,
or
Women's Auxiliary Army Corps.

Personally I have aways gone for the second one. I will have to consult Army Orders.

I know it's an old thread but being quite a rare badge this is the thread I came up with trying to research an example I found!

Unfortunately mine isn't as beautiful and shiny as the one on the OP having spent decades in the ground!
