Default Shoulder Titles

Hi All

The recent thread on cataloging WWI titles prompted me into taking out my collection of titles for a quick look. The collection has grown over the years unlike some of my other themes that have changed with time. There's something about the titles that has made me add and keep the collection.

I don't spend a lot of time on cataloging them so may have some slouch hat badges in the collection as well as some other nationalities. If anyone spots a non SA title or slouch hat badge I would appreciate the heads up.

Enjoy

Hi Shael,
Firstly, thanks for posting all these titles. You have an amazing collection of titles. I remember you collecting these when we were still teenagers and I was collecting uniform buttons. I will try to assist where I can with ID's

Steven

CPS - Civilian Protection Service
VHS - I have seen these before but cannot recall. Will need to think about this one

2WC is a SAP constables numbered collar badge for Western Cape

WTC i think may be Woman's Transport Corps. There were a bunch of WTC woman drivers who passed through the Union during WWII on there way to East Africa and I believe this title may have been worn by them unofficialy along with there british WTC/WTTC badges.

WTG - Wynberg Town Guard (Boer War period)

AGM - ???
