Pettsy Posted 18 August , 2006 Share Posted 18 August , 2006 Can anyone help me id a badge please. It is one and a quater inch in size. Blue around the edge, with a Union Jack Flag in the middle. Writing around the edge "COMRADES OF THE GREAT WAR" It is made by J.R GUANT. And has a number on it, 5 digits. Who would have been given this badge, and where would it have been worn? Thank you.

Pettsy Posted 19 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 19 August , 2006 Thank you HarryBettsMCDCM, I have never seen one of those before. Can I trace whose badge I have bought by the number on the back? Pettsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 19 August , 2006 Share Posted 19 August , 2006 Hi, Unfortunately not,these ex~Service organisations{that eventually joined forces & became the embryo British Legion{later RBL}must have had membership rolls.but I suspect they are lost in the mists of Time. Unless one day someone discovers a dusty register somewhere,in an opld Office,I expect they will in the main remain anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pettsy Posted 27 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 27 August , 2006 Thanks Harry, The British Legion, I used to love going there when I was a kid Dad gave me my grandad's BL Badge last week. We all used to go every week, to Parson Green, Fulham branch, great memories. Pettsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
