thanks for these. Does anyone have a definitive answer as to whether these were worn by the British Army or not. I read something a couple of years ago about this type of badge but cannot remember where as it was at the time outwith my collecting. I have subsequently acquired 2 badges (1 large & 1 small). I like the badges in their own right, regardless, but it would be good to place them. Chris |
