Default Old Comrades - Divisional Level
The vast majority of my collection of army "old comrades" badges are to the soldiers former regiment or corps. However, I have one to a Division, the Guards Division, of course.

Note, this is the WW1 Guards Division, rather than the WW2 Guards Armoured Division - "V" shapes cut into the blue design, top and bottom.

Is this just the Guards being "snobby", or has anyone seen them to other divisions.

Made by Gaunt, London.

Yes, 29th Division and 5th Army Group (two variations)are in my holdings.These would be from the 1920s or a fraction later.

Could you please post an image of the 5th Army Group badge? It sounds most interesting.
