This Merton & Morden 254 Coy insignia was in a selection of Civil Defence badges. Cannot seem to locate any info on Google. Red lettering makes me think of fire service / rescue usually.

Is it GTC (Girls Training Corps) by any chance? Someone will know I'm sure!

Aren't ARP badges red on black also? Perhaps it has some connection there since it was with some CD items.

Unlikely as ARP/CD weren't organised into numbered companies. Wardens were at numbered posts. The number of rescue squads etc even in an area like Morden would never get above a low number.

Thanks L-Clanger,

Good to know, as I collect ARP and CD.
