Hi all any ideas on the date and origin of this badge found in East Devon please?
The wording is Pro aris et focis.
Thanks

Here is a list, from a 2008 post to this forum, of regiments which bear this motto:

(1) 11th London Regt (Finsbury Rifles)
(2) East Suffolk Militia
(3) Uxbridge Yeomanry
(4) 47Sqd.Middx Yeo (R.Signals) Vols
(5) 3rd Monmouthshire (Newport) Rifle Vols
(6) Cinque Ports Artillery Vols
(7) Cinque Ports Rifle Vols
(8) 20th Middx Rifle Vols
(9) East Riding Yeomanry
(10) Royal Anglesey Lt.Inf Militia
(11) Bedforshire Militia

You may be able to match one of them up as 'likeliest' based on wher you found the badge.
