Annandale 1915 Badge?
I have had the badge in the attached photos since 2013, and, given the date, thought it might have had some connection with the First World War? I understand there was an historic area of Scotland called Annandale, but that there is also an Annandale as a suburb of Sydney in Australia. I have personally not been able to find anything about this badge, nor was the local museum service for Dumfries and Galloway (Annan Museum) able to help. I therefore wondered what Forum members’ thoughts were on it?
Regards Martin

Annandale membership badge?
Hi Btns
Thank you for your posting – interesting to see the Annandale Golf Club in California! I suppose it could well be a membership badge for a club of some kind with a connection with a place called Annandale, though, presumably, the year 1915 would have some significance? I can’t see anything to do with the golf club you found and that year, as they were apparently founded in 1906 so even an anniversary of this wouldn’t fall in 1915. Wherever the Annandale in question is, I take it something happened there in 1915 to result in the production of these badges (this one is No. 72, so that would suggest there were at least a few made). Anyway, I think I will probably part with it, as it doesn’t fit with my collecting. Best regards Martin

72 does sound like a membership number.
Wasn't there a thread recently here for a badge that was issued to mark donations to a 'comforts fund' 1915 or something similar in a town in the South of England? Charlie Edit ah it was this threadhttp://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...highlight=fund Last edited by charlie962; 27-01-17 at 08:15 PM.

A similar badge, but white, came up on ebay at some stage- sorry for poor quality- and was described (correctly or not) as a Factory badge

Annandale 1915 ‘Factory’ badge?
Hi Charlie
Very many thanks for your two postings, especially the second one with the badge from ebay which, apart from being white, is an exact match for mine. I originally thought that the “72” might be an issue number, so the idea that it could be a factory badge may well fit with that. If I get a chance I might try looking into this, as well as the possibly of it being something to do with a comforts fund or similar, so thank you again for these very helpful suggestions. Best regards Martin
