Default Norfolk Veterans Badge

Hello Everyone.

I recently obtained a lapel badge which has the following text on a blue enamel band surrounding a gilt Britannia on a red enamel background:

1st V.B. NORFOLK REGT. VETERAN

I would like to ask if any Forum member can expand on my non-existent knowledge on either the badge or its parent organisation?

Kind regards, Malcolm.

There was the 1st VB upto 1908 when it became the TF Battalion.

There was also the Volunteer Battalions in 1918 which replaced the VTC units.

It could be either.
