Cool Silver War badges
Ritchie,

Many thanks for the information on the war badges, L.D.L.C is something to be investigated further, possibly Labour Corps which some men seemed to be sent to possibly due to wounds received.

Regards Rob

It was quite common for the wouded to be sent to the Labour Corps after recovery as the LC had a lower medical status than the infantry.

Found a thread on GWF that mentions "London District Labour Centre".
