Chris Posted 16 December , 2004 Share Posted 16 December , 2004 Hi all Once again i am stumped by a badge, this time on the close up attached. To me it looks like a number 2, but can anyone tell me exactly what it means. If it helps the close up is of the right shoulder of a Private in the West Yorkshires.

Chris Posted 28 December , 2004 Author Share Posted 28 December , 2004 Hi all Just bringing this back to the top in the hope that someone will be able to identify this shoulder badge this time around. Also attaching scan of two other badges, the bottom one of which i would also appreciate any info on. Kind regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 28 December , 2004 Share Posted 28 December , 2004 Chris, As to the bottom one... Could it be this ? "The Royal Engineers, forage cap badge with cipher of King George V. The centre was left unvoided as an economy measure during the First World War." However, as "Royal Engineers" is clearly readable on my picture, I'm a bit puzzled. This should be readable on your badge as well I assume. Unless it is a different one of course. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 29 December , 2004 Share Posted 29 December , 2004 The Royal Engineers looks like a Mother of Pearl or Nacre Backed "Sweetheart" Brooch{about 1" Diameter} The Top Badge is a Royal Regiment Of Artillery Enamelled Badge{Of Commercial Design} probably as a decoration from a Matchbox Cover or Similar item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
