Pro Rege et Patria - badge/brooch

[seoliver]

I wondered if anyone could tell me anything about this small button/brooch? It is about 2cm in diameter with enamel inlay, some of which may now have been lost. It was found in the effects of the wife of a soldier in the South Staffs regiment, but I wondered if the interlocking red and blue chevrons had either a regimental, or other significance.

Also are there any particularly good websites or resources for researching objects like this?

Any help very gratefully received.

Looks like a representation of the overseas service stripes.

Perhaps a early type of wound badge or service badge .
