Default I'm sure someone will know!

Found these two small brass insignia amongst my dad's WW2 belongings, but I've no idea what they are?

They are from shoulder titles/collars. They stand for 'Territorial'. An example of a complete title being something like 'T 6 Kings'

Yes, he did join up with the Territorials in 1940.

They are the letters worn below their collars badges by Territorial officers.
