Middlesex Regiment I believe. They provided the MG Bn of at least four British Inf Divs that fought in Normandy.

Hi,
Thank you.
A 2nd Kensington officer could have?

I've no idea - you'll have to ask an expert on the Kensington Regiment and its buttons!

Fred,
I cannot help with your question but I am interested in knowing where in Normandy the button was found!

It was found on the east end of Mesnil-Patry (close of Putot-en-Bessin) ouest of Caen.
It's not exactly the places where 49th fought but it's not far away.
