107th ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS / 5th BATTALION KINGS OWN ROYAL REGIMENT [LANCASHIRE] CAP BADGE A fine very scarce cast white metal version, with w/m slider to reverse. 107th Regiment RAC was formed on 1 November 1941 by the conversion to the armoured role of the 5th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster), a 1st Line Territorial Army infantry battalion. In common with other infantry units transferred to the Royal Armoured Corps, all personnel would have continued to wear their King's Own cap badge on the black beret of the RAC. In this instance, however, the brass cap badges of the King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster) were white metal, chrome or silver by the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. The 5th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment had been serving in 126th Infantry Brigade of 42nd (East Lancashire) Infantry Division which had fought in France and been evacuated at Dunkirk in May 1940. Later, they were redesignated 11th Armoured Brigade (later 11th Tank Brigade) and 42nd Armoured Division respectively. Serving alongside the regiment in the brigade was 110 RAC (previously 5th Borders) and 111 RAC (5th Manchesters). Based in Yorkshire (mainly at Keighley and later Leyburn) the regiment trained on Valentine tanks throughout 1942 and early 1943. Also mentioned at Imperial War Museum Website. 5th Battalion was converted to armour as 107th RAC but continued to wear the King’s badge, albeit in chrome, white metal and without the red backing. In December 1943 the 5th Battalion was disbanded and the 10th King’s Own, earlier also converted to armour as 151st RAC, wearing the RAC badge, was re-titled 107th RAC, at which point it re-adopted the King’s Own badge.

The Liverpool Scottish became affiliated to the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in the 1920s and formally transferred to the regiment in 1937 with its identity preserved. Reflecting the Territorial Army's decline in size since the late 1940s, the battalion was reduced to a company in 1967, then to a platoon of "A" (King's) Company, King's and Cheshire Regiment in 1999. In 2006, the company was incorporated into the 4th Battalion, Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border). First World War was extensive and the Liverpool Scottish was one of the first territorial battalions to arrive on the Western Front when it deployed in November 1914. Approximately 1,000 of more than 10,000 men who served with the Scottish died during the war. The first major battle of the Scottish during the war was on 16 June 1915 in what is officially known as "The First Action at Bellewaarde", which was designed to pin down German reserves while other Allied forces were engaged elsewhere. The action is known to the Liverpool Scottish as the "Battle of Hooge". Hooge being a village a few miles East of Ypres in Belgium.

13th INFANTRY DIVISION FORMATION SIGN Printed example of the black horse-shoe on a red square that has been affixed to a pale k.d. tropical. Reference Cole page 39. The badge is said to have been chosen to offset any bad luck associated with the number 13. The badge is the same as that used by 13th (Western) Division in WWI. The Division was raised in the winter of 1945 during WW2 in Greece and was formed on the British elements of 4th Indian Division. The infantry units were formed largely from artillery units. Although there was no CRA or HQRA all three brigadiers were gunners. It is not known when the formation was disbanded but it does not appear in Cole's book of 1949 or in Bellis 12. It was probably primarily intended as a holding formation for demobilisation purposes so it would have had a very short life. The same design was intended as the third pattern badge for the 39th Independent Infantry Brigade, but with a green background, but was apparently never worn.

14th ARMY FORMATION SIGN A fine scarce bullion / type formation sign, active from 1943 - 45. The British Fourteenth Army was a multinational force comprising units from Commonwealth countries during World War II. Many of its units were from the Indian Army as well as British units and there were also significant contributions from West and East African divisions within the British Army. It was often referred to as the "Forgotten Army" because its operations in the Burma Campaign were overlooked by the contemporary press, and remained more obscure than those of the corresponding formations in Europe for long after the war. At one point it held the longest battle line, from the Bay of Bengal to the borders of India and China. The Army was responsible for the successful defence of India and the subsequent defeat of Japanese forces in Burma. In June 1945 14th Army was withdrawn to India to prepare for the invasion of Malaya,14th.Army's exploits are very well known and after enduring the appalling conditions of the jungles of the far-east secured great victories in the Arakan at Imphal,Kohima,Mandalay,Meiktila,and many more that led to the liberation of Burma and Malaya. whence the HQ was deployed in September.

The battalion was shelled in its trenches before Zero Hour (7.30 am) and when it advanced, it was met by heavy machine gun fire. A few men got as far as the German barbed wire but no further. Later in the morning the German defenders came out to clear the bodies off their wire, killing any that were still alive. The battalion casualties, sustained in the few minutes after Zero, were 24 officers and 504 other ranks, of which 15 officers and 233 other ranks were killed.

17th LANCER [DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE OWN] CAP BADGE, COLLAR BADGE SET A fine cap badge & larger type collar set, all white metal and all have two loop fixings to reverse. At the beginning of the First World War, the 17th Lancers formed part of the 2nd (Sialkot) Cavalry Brigade of the 1st Indian Cavalry Division. The regiment landed in France in November 1914. In the static warfare of the Western Front, the 17th was often restricted to infantry roles, such as the occupation of trenches. The 17th was eventually used in its conventional cavalry role in 1917, at the Battle of Cambrai, which happened to feature the first large-scale use of tanks. In 1918 the 17th was transferred to the 7th Cavalry Brigade, part of the 3rd Cavalry Division. That year the men got another chance to prove their worth as a cavalry regiment during the last-gasp German Spring Offensive. The 17th functioned as mobile infantry during the attack, plugging gaps whenever the need arose, both as cavalry and as infantry. The 17th also saw service in the British counter-attack, including the Battle of Amiens. After the signing of the Armistice on 11 November 1918, the 17th remained in continental Europe, joining the British Army of the Rhine in Cologne, Germany. The regiment then served in County Cork, Ireland, where it operated against the Irish Republican Army during the War of Independence. In 1921, the 17th had its title altered to the 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own). In 1922 the 17th was amalgamated with the 21st Lancers (Empress of India's) to form the 17th/21st Lancers.

1st WEST INDIA REGIMENT VICTORIAN GILT BUTTON A fine scarce Victorian gilt button, with Pitt & Co London to reverse. 26 mm. 1st West India Regiment the Carolina Corps that had been in existence since 1779, the original intention was both to recruit free blacks from the West Indian population and to purchase slaves from the West Indian plantations. The eighth of the newly raised regiments (Skerrett's) was disbanded the following year but the quality of the new corps led to a further five West India Regiments being raised in 1798. In 1807 all serving black soldiers recruited as slaves in the West India Regiments of the British Army were freed under the Mutiny Act passed by the British parliament that same year. In 1808 the Abolition Act caused all trading in slaves to be "utterly abolished, prohibited and declared to be unlawful". In 1812 a West African recruiting depot was established on Blance Island in Sierre Leone to train West African volunteers for the West India Regiments. By 1816 the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the reduction of the West India regiments to six enabled this depot to be closed. Thereafter all recruitment for the various West Indian regiments that fought in World War I and World War II were West Indian volunteers, with officers and some senior NCOs coming from Britain.

The 21st Lancers (Empress of India's) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, raised in 1858 and amalgamated with the 17th Lancers in 1922 to form the 17th/21st Lancers. Perhaps its most famous engagement was the Battle of Omdurman, where Winston Churchill (then an officer of the 4th Hussars), rode with the unit. In 1898 the 21st Lancers served in the Mahdist War in the Sudan, as the only British cavalry unit involved. It was here that the full regiment charged with lances in the classic cavalry style during the Battle of Omdurman. Of less than 400 men involved in the charge 70 were killed and wounded and the regiment won three Victoria Crosses. This spectacular encounter earned considerable public attention and praise for the regiment, though it was also criticized as a costly and unnecessary anachronism - since the 2,000 Dervish spearmen dispersed by the 21st Lancers could have been destroyed by rifle fire with few if any British losses. Having lost 119 of their horses the regiment ceased to play an effective part in the campaign. "Omdurman" was the regiment's only battle honour, giving rise to the satirical regimental motto of "thou shalt not kill." That same year, the regiment was given the title 21st (Empress of India's) Lancers, taking the name from Queen Victoria who was the Empress of India.

2nd ANTI AIRCRAFT DIVISION [2nd AA DIVISION] FORMATION SIGN A fine woven cloth formation sign, Reference Cole page 54. The design of the badge reflects the motto of the Division, 'We sweep the skies'. There may also be a connection with the witches of Pendle, given the responsibility of the formation for parts of the North. A version of this sign exists with a slightly amended pattern and stencilled on khaki material. Current thinking suggests the red and blue version is the first pattern and the khaki stencilled version is the second, 'austerity', issue, worn from 1941. However, both patterns could probably be seen together in any one unit until the Anti-Aircraft Corps and Divisions were disbanded in October 1942. The Division was formed on 10 December 1936 from TA units based in the Midlands and North. Its original area of responsibility was north west from a line from Harwich to the Solent and it was later made responsible for the defence of the East Midlands and North-East Anglia.

3 X UNITED STATES MILITARY UNOFFICIAL BADGES Silver metal & enamel badges Combat Tank/Armoured/Cavalry in green, Combat Tank/Armoured/Cavalry in yellow and a Combat Artillery in red, all three with fixings to reverse. Unofficial badges of the United States military are those badges or emblems which do not appear in United States military regulations but are worn or displayed by many individuals serving in the United States military. Unofficial badges may also be bestowed for a one time action or be authorized under the authority of a local commander. Unofficial military badges are rare in the modern age due large in part to the stringent and specific regulations regarding the issuance of military badges and the manner of wear on military uniforms. The term may still be used, however, to denote badges which were proposed for creation but never actually distributed as well as the badges that individuals continue to place in personal award displays, wear on civilian clothing, or occasionally wear on their uniform at the risk of reprimand.

On 1 September 1944 Divisional HQ was redesignated HQ 38th Infantry (Reserve) Division. 115 Infantry Brigade formed B Marshalling Area in Southern Command for the Invasion of Normandy. The Division began to disperse in August 1944 and HQ 115 Infantry Brigade became HQ Force 135 and the Brigade Commander became Force Commander. The existing units of the Brigade were posted away and three different battalions were posted in. Force 135 was designated for the liberation of the Channel Islands and the units undertook military training in the bombed streets of Plymouth during October and November 1944. However, the operation was predicated on the surrender of the German garrison and as there was no indication that they would surrender, the Brigade reverted to an infantry Brigade and, with a different badge, was deployed to Europe early in February 1945.

3rd ANTI AIRCRAFT [3rd AA DIVISION] FORMATION SIGN A fine printed detailed example. The first German raids on British mainland were in the Firth of Fourth, and dealt with by the Division.

Consequently, when a new divisional commander took over in April 1943, a redesigned badge was adopted, with the bear's head thrown back and roaring.

Note that, although an heraldic device, it is clear that the buckles were printed to face two ways. The Division was formed in September 1938 and was located in the North West. It was originally responsible for the defence of Birmingham but later was primarily concerned with the defence of Liverpool and Manchester.

4th BATTALION DEVON [DEVONSHIRE REGIMENT] PAGRI BADGE A excellent cloth Pagri badge, 45 mm x 70 mm no moth. In 1908, when the Volunteers became part of the newly formed Territorial Army, two longstanding Devon volunteer units merged to form the 4th (Territorial Force) Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment. Based on Exeter, the 4th recruited from the south-east of the county. The outbreak of war in August 1914 found them at their annual camp on Woodbury Common, Exeter. They never returned. Embodied in the army, they moved to Salisbury Plain for training. Here, in August 1914, a second battalion were formed. Known initially as the 4th (Reserve) Battalion, they were later called the 2/4th, and they were formed of the relatively few Territorials who did not volunteer to serve overseas and the huge number of new recruits to the rapidly expanding wartime army. Based at first in Exeter, the Battalion moved to Exmouth in October. The 1/4th were sent to India and were stationed near Lahore, until they were sent to Mesopotamia (now Iraq) in early 1916. They arrived on 28th February and moved up the Tigris to join the 14th Indian Division at Sheikh Saad a month later. Although shelled by the Turks, their most dangerous enemy was disease caused by the climate. In the summer of 1916 400 men were admitted to hospital. On 3rd February 1917 the 1/4th Devons and 1/9th Gurkhas led a dazzlingly successful attack on the Hai Salient in the Turkish line south of Kut. Victory came at a price: of 15 officers and 403 men who attacked, only 5 officers and 186 men emerged unscathed. The survivors of the 1/4th spent the rest of the war in Amara and Baquba (north of Baghdad) building roads, guarding prisoners and administering refugee camps. The 2/4th Devons followed the 1/4th to India and remained in Madras, training and despatching drafts to the 1/4th in Mespototamia, until October 1917, when they were sent to Palestine. In December they arrived at the front near Ramleh, where they joined 234 Brigade. On 14th March 1918 the 2/4th took over and extended the line near Deir Ballut, holding the position until the end of the month. Their losses from sickness far exceeded their casualties from shell, machine gun and sniper fire. In July 1918 they were withdrawn from the line and a month later the 2/4th Devons were disbanded. Although their war experience had been limited, two officers and 26 men had been lost their lives in action. The 1/4th did not survive their sister battalion by very long. Having themselves lost 80 officers and men killed in action, they were reduced to a cadre in March 1919 and returned home in August. In their single, gallant action they had won two battle honours for the Devon Regiment: Kut El Amara 1917 and Mesopotamia 1916-18. The two Battalions won five battle honours overall.

4th BATTALION KINGS SHROPSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY CROIX DE GUERRE 4th Battalion entitled to wear this Croix de Guerre, 37mm x 15 mm. In June 1918, the 4th (Territorial) Battalion of the K.S.L.I. was a awarded the unusual distinction of a "unit award" in the form the French Croix-de-Guerre avec Palme for its gallantry in seizing the important Bligny Hill. The citation stated : On the 6th June 1918, when the right flank of a British Brigade was being seriously threatened by the progress of a heavy enemy attack, the 1-4th Battalion of the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry, which had been held in reserve, was called upon to counter-attack an important position from which their comrades had just been ejected. With magnificent dash, this Battalion rushed the hill on which the enemy had established themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them and in the course of hand-to-hand fighting captured an officer and 28 other ranks. Thanks to this gallant and spirited recapture of the key to the whole defensive position, the line was completely restored. The dash, energy and intrepidity with which, on this memorable occasion, the 1-4th KSLI carried all before it, was largely responsible for the retrieval of a situation which had temporarily become critical.” Needless to say, the award of the French medal to a Territorial battalion of the K.S.L.I. was deemed a signal honour and greeted with great pleasure. General Berthelot himself came to Shrewsbury in June 1922 to personally pin the Croix de Guerre avec Palme to the Regimental Colour of the battalion.

This searchlight unit was formed as part of the doubling in size of the TA at the time of the Munich Crisis in late 1938. Formally, it was a duplicate of 36th (Middlesex) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Royal Engineers, based on 344 AA Company at Harrow, which was transferred from 36th AA Battalion to provide a cadre of trained men. In February 1939 the existing AA defences came under the control of a new Anti-Aircraft Command. In June a partial mobilisation of TA units was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA and searchlight positions. On 1 August 1940 the Royal Engineers' AA battalions were transferred to the Royal Artillery (RA), being redesignated searchlight regiments.

During WW1 the brigade became part of the British Expeditionary Force and saw action on the Western Front in the Battle of Mons and the subsequent Great Retreat and at the First Battle of Ypres, which saw the old Regular Army virtually destroyed. Second World War 5th Brigade was again part of the 2nd Infantry Division and was sent to France in 1939 shortly after the outbreak of war, where it joined the British Expeditionary Force. It served on the Franco-Belgian border until May 1940, when it was evacuated at Dunkirk after fighting in the short but fierce battles of France and Belgium in which the German Army nearly cut off the entire BEF from the French Army. With the division, the brigade remained in Britain on home defence until 10 April 1942, when it was shipped out to India to fight the Imperial Japanese Army after a series of disasters suffered by the British and Indian troops stationed there. The 5th Brigade served with the 2nd Infantry Division in the Burma Campaign under General Slim's British Fourteenth Army and fought in the Battle of Kohima, which managed to help turn the tide of the campaign in the Far East.

5th INFANTRY DIVISION WW2 1st PATTERN FORMATION SIGN A fine woven cloth formation sign. Worn 1939 to 1945.

The 5th (or "Reserve") Division has the doubtful privilege of being perhaps the most widely travelled British formation of WW2. In September 1939 it was a regular formation based at Catterick under Northern Command. At this time it comprised just two brigades, 13th and 15th, both of which went to join the BEF as independent formations in October 1939. Divisional HQ and 17 Brigade joined the BEF in late December when the Division was reformed on a full three brigade basis. In April 1940 15 Brigade was withdrawn for employment in the Norwegian campaign and did not rejoin the Division until July. The Division and its two remaining Brigades fought with the BEF throughout the 1940 campaign. They were evacuated to England, with most of the division arriving on 1 June.

As part of the Childers Reforms, the 63rd and the 96th Regiments of Foot amalgamated in 1881 to form The Manchester Regiment. The lineage of the 63rd is continued today by the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's Lancashire and Border).

Following the Cardwell Reforms the regiment amalgamated with the 98th (Prince of Wales's) Regiment of Foot to become The Prince of Wales's (North Staffordshire Regiment) in 1881. In the new regiment the 64th Foot became the 1st Battalion due to its seniority over the 98th Foot. Although the 64th Foot fought in many of the major conflicts of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it was normally in the more minor theatres of these conflicts. During the Seven Years' War it served in the West Indies; in the Napoleonic Wars, its role was limited, again, to the West Indies and South America. In the mid-19th century, it fought in the Anglo-Persian War and the Indian Rebellion of 1857, where one of its soldiers was awarded the Victoria Cross.

Badge circular (57 mm diameter) printed khaki-cloth patch with outer red border and red cockerel printed in the centre. Has stiff backing with three fixings to reverse of each. Reference Imperial War Museum https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30071135 Second World War Indian Army formation badge for 23rd Indian Division. It was conceived by the Divisional Commander, Major General Reginald Savory, who later played a vital role as Director of Infantry. The red fighting cock was intended to be symbolic to both British and Indian Army troops while not alienating Hindu or Muslim troops. It was also meant to have a slightly bawdy interpretation. Savory said that frequently he had to insist that the result was 'a fighting cock, not a bloody rooster'. It was designed by Lieutenant-Colonel L F A 'Busti' Maddocks. Formation note: 23rd Indian Division was raised at Jhansi on 1 January 1942. Its main role for the next two years was patrolling on the Assam-Burma border, covering the retreat from Burma and later as a diversion for the First Chindit Operation. It was in reserve on the Imphal Plain until January 1944, where the dispersed brigades of the division were involved in some very heavy fighting, including the Battle of Sangshak, and later fought in the battles for Shenam. In December the division underwent training for combined operations, as it was earmarked for Operation Zipper, and landed in Malaya after the surrender. It then transferred to Java in an internal security role and was heavily involved in fierce street fighting. It returned to Malaya and was disbanded in March 1947.

ARTIST RIFLES SILVER SWEETHEART BROOCH A very fine Hallmarked Birmingham 1915 Silver & Enamel sweetheart brooch. Maker G,L for G Loveridge & Co (George Loveridge) Aprox 40 mm long. The Artists Rifles was a popular unit for volunteers. It had been increased to twelve companies in 1900 and was formed into three sub-battalions in 1914, and recruitment was eventually restricted by recommendation from existing members of the battalion. It particularly attracted recruits from public schools and universities; on this basis, following the outbreak of the First World War, a number of enlisted members of The Artists Rifles were selected to be officers in other units of the 7th Division.This exercise was so successful that, early in 1915, selected Artists officers and NCOs were transferred to run a separate Officers Training Corps, in which poet Wilfred Owen trained before posting to the Manchester Regiment; the remainder being retained as a fighting unit. Over fifteen thousand men passed through the battalion during the war, more than ten thousand of them becoming officers. The battalion eventually saw battle in France in 1917 and 1918. Casualties suffered by both members of this battalion and amongst officers who had trained with The Artists Rifles before being posted to other regiments were 2,003 killed, 3,250 wounded, 533 missing and 286 prisoners of war. Ex-Members of the Regiment won eight Victoria Crosses (though none did so while serving with the Regiment), fifty-six DSOs and over a thousand other awards for gallantry.

The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time. The empire covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.

BRITISH MILITARY MISSION LIBYA FORMATION SIGN British Military Mission Libya Formation Sign, embroidered example. After Britain succeeded in occupying the Libyan territories, the need for the British-trained and equipped Sanusi troops appeared to be over. The Sanusi Army was reluctant to disband, however, and the majority of its members arranged to be transferred to the local police force in Cyrenaica under the British military administration. When Libya gained its independence in 1951, veterans of the original Sanusi Army formed the nucleus of the Royal Libyan Army. British Army troops, part of Middle East Command and comprising 25th Armoured Brigade and briefly 10th Armoured Division, were still present after independence and stayed in Libya until at least 1957. Despite the Sanussi lineage of the new army, King Idris I quickly came to distrust them. The Free Officers' coup of 1952 in Egypt led many Libyan officers to be disenchanted with Idris and become great followers of Gamal Abdel Nasser. This situation reached the stage that the British Army officers retained by Idris to train and advise the new armed forces deemed the force entirely untrustworthy. They increasingly saw their role as to watch the army rather than to raise its effectiveness.

BRITISH TROOPS PERSIA & IRAQ FORMATION SIGN A fine printed formation sign, some glue residue to reverse. red elephants head on a blue background worn by troops of "Pai-Force". The badge's elephant emblem is said to be a reference to the first commander of Persia and Iraq Command, General (later Field Marshal) Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, whose nickname was 'Jumbo'. (Another elephant badge was created for 9th Army, the formation Wilson commanded immediately before going to PAIC). The badge was also worn by British Troops Iraq. (Cole, page 21). Although Persia and Iraq were both nominally independent neutral countries they were firmly within the British sphere of interest because of their oilfields. Thus the pro-German rebellion in Iraq in June 1941 and the concern about German influence in Persia in August 1941 both resulted in British military intervention. Additionally, by the end of 1941 there were very real concerns that the German advance in Southern Russia could lead to an invasion of the oil producing regions from the north. It became clear that detailed attention would need to be paid to the defence of this large, remote and wholly undeveloped area. Persia and Iraq were at various times the responsibility of Middle East and India Commands but neither Commander-in-Chief could pay sufficient attention to this remote northern flank after the German successes in the Western Desert and the Japanese invasions in the East. As a result, in August 1942, Churchill ordered that a separate command be set up to deal with this exposed northern flank. Persia and Iraq Command (PAIC) under General Wilson was opened on 15 September 1942 in Baghdad. The command took over the fighting troops in the area, formed as 10th Army from the troops used to deal with the Iraqi rebellion, and in addition all the base and Line of Communication forces which had their HQs in Basra. Although the command never became operational it was responsible for a massive logstics effort in creating roads, railways and water transport facilities. This would have enabled any fighting troops to be supplied but in the event its main function was the provision of a supply route for war material to Russia. Some five million tons were eventually sent over routes that largely had to be made from scratch.

The 253rd (University Highland) Battalion, CEF was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Based in Kingston, Ontario, the unit began recruiting in mid-autumn of 1916, primarily among university students from throughout Canada. After sailing to England in May 1917, the unit was absorbed by the 5th Reserve Battalion, CEF later that month. The 253rd (University Highland) Battalion, CEF had one Officer Commanding: Lieut-Col. P. G. C. Campbell. Disbanded in 1920 As part of the Princess of Wales Regt during the outbreak of World War I in 1914, resulted in a response by members of the regiment that was quite remarkable. Very quickly a contingent of 80 men was formed under Captain George T. Richardson, (for whom George Richardson Stadium in Kingston is named—he became the PWOR’s first officer fatality) and sent to the 2nd (Eastern Ontario Regiment) Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), of the 1st Canadian Division, which was part of Canada’s First Contingent. At the same time, the 21st Battalion, CEF was formed in Kingston, under the Commanding Officer of the PWOR, Lieutenant-Colonel St Pierre Hughes.

The regiment took up residence in Aldershot where they continued their training. In early 1942, 6 CAR received some M3 Lee tanks and Canadian Ram Mk. Is and IIs. The Hussars remained a part of 1 CAB until January 1943, when they were reorganised into the 3rd Canadian Army Tank Brigade along with The Fort Garry Horse and the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment. In July 1943, 3 CATB was re-designated the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade (2CAB), a designation which remained until the end of the war. 6 CAR continued training in the village of Elstead in southern England before moving to Combined Operations Training Centre in Inverary, Scotland where they prepared for an Amphibious assault. In December 1943, the First Hussars were introduced to "Duplex Drive" (DD for short) tanks. Initially the regiment was trained on the Valentine DD, until it was re-equipped with the M4A4 Sherman DD and Sherman Vc "Firefly" in April 1944. D-Day and Normandy The DD tanks of the 1st Hussars were amongst the allied forces to come ashore in Normandy. The Hussars were to support the infantry landing on the western half of Juno Beach. At 07:15, 19 tanks of 'B' Squadron launched their Sherman V DDs from their landing-craft into the English Channel some 4000 meters from shore of Nan Green Beach. Of 'B' Squadron's 19 tanks, 15 made it to shore ahead of the Regina Rifles, whom they were tasked to support.

DIRECTORATE OF OPERATIONS BORNEO [HQ, SPECIAL FORCES SAS] FORMATION SIGN A very scarce 1964-66 printed formation sign, of a Borneo white bellied sea eagle flying forward. Major General Walter Walker (DOBOPS) instigated operations code name "CLARET". Operation Claret was a long-running series of secretive cross-border raids conducted by British Commonwealth forces in Borneo from June 1964 to early 1966. These raids were undertaken by special forces—including the British Special Air Service, Australian Special Air Service Regiment, and New Zealand Special Air Service—as well as regular infantry. During the early phases of the conflict British Commonwealth and Malaysian troops had attempted only to control the border and to protect population centres from Indonesian attacks. However, by 1965 they had decided to take more aggressive action, crossing the border to obtain information and in "hot pursuit" of withdrawing Indonesian infiltrators. First approved in May 1965, later they were expanded to include cross-border ambushing in July. Claret was largely successful in gaining the initiative for the British Commonwealth forces before being suspended late in the war, inflicting significant casualties on the Indonesians and keeping them on the defensive on their side of the border. The operations were only publicly disclosed by Britain in 1974, whilst the Australian government did not officially acknowledge its involvement until 1996.

Very short lived formed 15th January 1945; disbanded 7th March 1945. The 302nd Infantry Brigade was a headquarters formed by the British Army towards the end of World War II that never completed its organisation. By the end of 1944, 21st Army Group was suffering a severe manpower shortage, particularly among the infantry. At the same time the German Luftwaffe was suffering from such shortages of pilots, aircraft and fuel that serious aerial attacks on the United Kingdom could be discounted. In January 1945 the War Office began to reorganise surplus anti-aircraft and coastal artillery regiments in the UK into infantry battalions, primarily for line of communication and occupation duties in North West Europe, thereby releasing trained infantry for frontline service. The 302nd brigade was formed on 15 January 1945 as one of a proposed eight brigade headquarters organised to command these new units. However, no brigade commander was appointed and no units were posted to the brigade, which was disbanded on 7 March 1945.

F.A.F.L FREE FRENCH AIR FORCE WW2 PILOT WING SERVICE BADGE A fine scarce excellent example. Free French Air Forces wing, enamel and numbered, with the cross of Lorraine and a brooch fixing. The Free French Air Forces (French: Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres, FAFL) were the air arm of the Free French Forces during the Second World War from 1940. They officially ceased to hold this title from 1943, with the merger of Free French Forces with General Giraud's anti-German forces, but were still commonly known by the title until the liberation of France in 1944, when they became the regular French Air Army. They were commanded by Martial Henri Valin from 1941 to 1944, who subsequently became commander of the Air Army. On 17 June 1940, five days before the signing of the Franco-German Armistice, the first "exodus" (of 10 airmen) took flight from Bordeaux-Mérignac to England. Others rallied to General Charles de Gaulle from France and French North Africa during the period June 1940 to November 1942. A contingent of volunteers from South American countries such as Uruguay, Argentina and Chile was also created, as Free French officials recruited there personally. From a strength of 500 on July 1940, the ranks of the FAFL grew to 900 by 1941, including 200 flyers[clarification needed]. A total of 276 of these flyers were stationed in England, and 604 were stationed in overseas theaters of operation. In the summer of 1940 General de Gaulle named then-Colonel Martial Henri Valin as commander-in-chief of the FAFL. Valin was at the French military mission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the time of his appointment and he had to complete his assignment there by February 1941. It took him 45 days to get to London to see de Gaulle and it was not until 9 July that Valin formally assumed office taking over from the caretaker commander, Admiral Emile Muselier. 65 mm x 33 mm

Formed as the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry in 1907 as a first aid link between the field hospitals and the front lines, and was given the yeomanry title as all its members were originally mounted on horseback. Unlike nursing organisations, the FANY saw themselves rescuing the wounded and giving first aid, similar to a modern combat medic. During World War I, on arrival in Calais on 27 October 1914, they drove motor ambulances instead of horses. The British Army wanted nothing to do with them, so they drove ambulances and ran hospitals and casualty clearing stations for the Belgian and French Armies. By the Armistice, they had been awarded many decorations for bravery, including 17 Military Medals, 1 Legion d'Honneur and 27 Croix de Guerre.

Toward the end of her service life Jeanne d'Arc became unsuitable for the role due to the increasing size and weight of helicopters.

The MGC saw action in all the main theatres of war, including France, Belgium, Palestine, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Salonika, East Africa and Italy.

Indeed, in the latter part of the war, as tactics changed to defence in depth, it commonly served well in advance of the front line. It had a less enviable record for its casualty rate. Some 170,500 officers and men served in the MGC, with 62,049 becoming casualties, including 12,498 killed, earning it the nickname 'the Suicide Club'. Reference Alan Jefferys & Gary Gibbs page 54

LONG RANGE DESERT GROUP WW2 BERET BADGE A very scarce Long Range Desert Group beret badge, die cast with two loops to reverse, one of which I think has been replaced at some time. Also one of the feet has been damaged slightly on the end [see photos]. Lots of fakes about as we all know, came from a good source. More photos if required. Just email me, or I can send photos. The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War. The commander of the German Afrika Corps, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, admitted that the LRDG "caused us more damage than any other British unit of equal strength". Originally called the Long Range Patrol (LRP), the unit was founded in Egypt in June 1940 by Major Ralph A. Bagnold, acting under the direction of General Archibald Wavell. Bagnold was assisted by Captain Patrick Clayton and Captain William Shaw. At first the majority of the men were from New Zealand, but they were soon joined by Rhodesian and British volunteers, whereupon new sub-units were formed and the name was changed to the better-known Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The LRDG never numbered more than 350 men, all of whom were volunteers. The LRDG was formed specifically to carry out deep penetration, covert reconnaissance patrols and intelligence missions from behind Italian lines, although they sometimes engaged in combat operations. Because the LRDG were experts in desert navigation they were sometimes assigned to guide other units, including the Special Air Service and secret agents across the desert. During the Desert Campaign between December 1940 and April 1943, the vehicles of the LRDG operated constantly behind the Axis lines, missing a total of only 15 days during the entire period. Possibly their most notable offensive action was during Operation Caravan, an attack on the town of Barce and its associated airfield, on the night of 13 September 1942. However, their most vital role was the 'Road Watch', during which they clandestinely monitored traffic on the main road from Tripoli to Benghazi, transmitting the intelligence to British Army Headquarters. With the surrender of the Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943, the LRDG changed roles and moved operations to the eastern Mediterranean, carrying out missions in the Greek islands, Italy and the Balkans. After the end of the war in Europe, the leaders of the LRDG made a request to the War Office for the unit to be transferred to the Far East to conduct operations against the Japanese Empire. The request was declined and the LRDG was disbanded in August 1945.

MANCHESTER MILITIA VICTORIAN HELMET PLATE A fine white metal 6th Manchester Militia helmet plate. The Volunteer Force (1859 – 1908) The Volunteer Force was raised in 1859 and comprised mostly of riflemen units, although there were also artillery, engineer and cavalry formations. Members of the force were exempt from service in both the regular army and militia. The basic organisational unit was a company whereby the minimum and maximum strengths were authorised at sixty and a hundred men respectively. The Volunteers were initially independent and lacked coordination. In 1860 the War Office authorised a system of consolidating battalions (or brigades in case of artillery) whereby several companies from a city or town became a larger unit. Later that year ‘administrative battalions’ were created. These drew together companies, usually from rural areas, not already consolidated into battalions. In the 1880 Army reforms the remaining administrative battalions were grouped together. The Volunteers ceased to exist in 1908 and the majority of the formations became the fourth battalion of local regiments.

MOTOR MACHINE GUN CORPS OFFICERS WW1 FIELD SERVICE CAP / COLLAR BADGE. A scarce bronze 1914 to 1918 example, with four loops to reverse. Once the fighting on the Western Front had settled down (by late 1914) the opportunities for motor machine gun units to operate as a mobile force were limited indeed. In many cases they had to operate as conventional machine-gun sections. However, they came into their own once again during the great advances of 1918, beginning with the Battle of Amiens on 8 August. Elsewhere, and most particularly in Egypt, Palestine, East Africa and Mesopotamia, the mobility of the units was of great value and they saw considerable action in these theatres. A MMG Squadron joined the Royal Naval Division on 17 March 1915 and served with it on Gallipoli in April and May 1915. By the opening of the Battle of Loos on 25 September 1915, there were 18 MMG Batteries with the BEF, of which two were Canadian. Five of them were engaged at Loos. A battery included 18 cycle/sidecar combinations, carrying 6 Vickers machine guns with ammunition and spare equipment; 8 motorcycles without sidecars; 2 or 3 wagons or cars; and a sidecar combination for the officer commanding. The creation of the MGC in October 1915 incorporated the Motor Machine Gun Service, which now became known as the Machine Gun Corps (Motors). At this time the MGC(M) had around 3000 men. From late 1916, many men of the MGC(M) transferred to the Heavy Section, MGC (later to be known as the Tank Corps). In 1922, the Tank Corps absorbed the MGC(M) completely and the Motor Machine guns units disappeared from the British army's order of battle.

OFFICERS INNISKILLINGS [6th DRAGOONS] FACING PAIR COLLAR BADGES A fine facing pair of cast bronze Officers collar badges, both with two loops to reverse. The 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons was a cavalry regiment in the British Army, first raised in 1689. It saw service for three centuries, before being amalgamated into the 5th/6th Dragoons (later the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, then finally the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards) in 1922. One of their most notable battles was the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. They also fought with distinction at the Battle of Waterloo in the Charge of the Union Brigade and again during the Crimean War as part of the successful Charge of the Heavy Brigade against superior numbers at the Battle of Balaklava. World War I sounded the death knell for mounted cavalry as it became apparent that technology had moved forward with greater destructive power and made horsed cavalry redundant on the modern battlefield. The British Army reorganised and reduced its cavalry corps by disbanding or amalgamating many of its famous cavalry regiments in 1922 as part of the Geddes Reforms.

Field service cap badge. Rubbed to chest. 1944–1945: North-West Europe The regiment spent the first half of the year refitting and training in preparation for the invasion of Europe. On 7 June 1944, the first three tanks of the regiment landed on Juno Beach. As part of the Battle of Caen, the Scots Greys took part in the fighting for Hill 112. Once the breakthrough was achieved, the Scots Greys took part in the pursuit of the retreating German forces. The Scots Greys saw action at the Falaise pocket, the crossing of the Seine, and was one of the first regiments to cross the Somme River at the beginning of September 1944. After crossing the Somme, the Scots Greys, along with the rest of the 4th Armoured Brigade, moved north into Belgium, near Oudenarde. In mid September, the Scots Greys took part in the Operation Market-Garden, in particular the fighting around Eindhoven where the 101st Airborne landed to capture the bridges. The regiment saw action in operations helping to capture Nijmegen Island, and the area west of the Maas. The regiment also helped to capture the Wilhelmina Canal and clear German resistance along the Lower Rhine to secure the allied flank for the eventual drive into Germany. On 26 February, the Scots Greys crossed into Germany. Little more than a month later, the regiment was involved in the capture of Bremen. With Germany crumbling, Allied commanders began to become concerned with how far the Red Army was advancing into Western and Central Europe. To prevent possible post-war claims over Denmark, the Scots Greys and 6th Airborne Division were tasked with the job of extending eastwards past Lübeck. Despite having been in action for three months, the Scots Greys covered 60 miles (97 km) in eight hours to capture the city of Wismar on 1 May 1945. The regiment captured the town just hours before meeting up with the Red Army.

RARE BACKWARDS FACING ROYAL TANK CORPS / REGIMENT OFFICERS 1924 BERET BADGE A very fine rare short lived example by JR Gaunt, London.

Reference KK 1922, https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30103383 Granted the “Royal” prefix in 1923, following which the top scroll was removed and the lower scroll carried the Corps motto, “Fear Naught”. The tank was now depicted side-on as opposed to three-quarters front. This design was sealed in October 1924. Unfortunately, in March 1924 King George V had approved the black beret as the headdress for the Tank Corps and when worn in the beret the tank was facing to the rear, anathema in the iconography of military badges. A new version was rapidly adopted later that year, with the tank facing left, to the wearer’s right, so facing forward when worn in the beret.

RARE LONG RANGE DESERT GROUP WW2 BERET BADGE A very scarce Long Range Desert Group beret badge, die cast with two loops to reverse. A little rubbed, but you can still see slight definition in the Scorpions back, an excellent original item. Lots of fakes about as we all know, came from a good source. More photos if required. Just email me, or I can send photos. The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War. The commander of the German Afrika Corps, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, admitted that the LRDG "caused us more damage than any other British unit of equal strength". Originally called the Long Range Patrol (LRP), the unit was founded in Egypt in June 1940 by Major Ralph A. Bagnold, acting under the direction of General Archibald Wavell. Bagnold was assisted by Captain Patrick Clayton and Captain William Shaw. At first the majority of the men were from New Zealand, but they were soon joined by Rhodesian and British volunteers, whereupon new sub-units were formed and the name was changed to the better-known Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The LRDG never numbered more than 350 men, all of whom were volunteers. The LRDG was formed specifically to carry out deep penetration, covert reconnaissance patrols and intelligence missions from behind Italian lines, although they sometimes engaged in combat operations. Because the LRDG were experts in desert navigation they were sometimes assigned to guide other units, including the Special Air Service and secret agents across the desert. During the Desert Campaign between December 1940 and April 1943, the vehicles of the LRDG operated constantly behind the Axis lines, missing a total of only 15 days during the entire period. Possibly their most notable offensive action was during Operation Caravan, an attack on the town of Barce and its associated airfield, on the night of 13 September 1942. However, their most vital role was the 'Road Watch', during which they clandestinely monitored traffic on the main road from Tripoli to Benghazi, transmitting the intelligence to British Army Headquarters. With the surrender of the Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943, the LRDG changed roles and moved operations to the eastern Mediterranean, carrying out missions in the Greek islands, Italy and the Balkans. After the end of the war in Europe, the leaders of the LRDG made a request to the War Office for the unit to be transferred to the Far East to conduct operations against the Japanese Empire. The request was declined and the LRDG was disbanded in August 1945.

RARE WW2 HOME GUARD SPECIAL FORCES AUXILIARY VOLUNTEERS Britains Resistance Organisation. A fine rare WW2 Home Guard Auxiliary enamel badge, unfortunatly with no fixing to reverse. But enamel is good. Churchill's secret guerillas, They were Britain’s ‘secret army’, courageous volunteers prepared to sacrifice their lives to fight against a Nazi invasion of the UK. Issued with top-secret orders, their role has remained unsung for decades. But now the undercover resistance units Churchill planned to activate in the event of a German invasion during the Second World War are at last to be honoured. The Royal British Legion has agreed to officially recognise the 4,000 volunteers who once formed the secret guerrilla cells created to resist the Nazis. And for the first time, former members are to parade with other veterans at this year’s Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Cenotaph. If wartime church bells rang to warn of enemy invasion, the orders for the Auxiliary Unit volunteers were to disappear without telling anyone and to report to hidden bases in the countryside. Each was issued with sealed orders giving a list of potential collaborators, some as senior as county chief constables, who might have to be executed if there was a risk of them helping the Germans. Most of the volunteers worked in the countryside and were chosen for their knowledge of the local area and ability to use a weapon. Trained at Coleshill, in Oxfordshire, they operated in tight groups and their role was to disrupt and destroy the enemy’s supply chain, kill collaborators and take out strategic targets. Unable to tell anyone about their activities, they disguised their real mission by pretending to belong to the Home Guard.

RECONNAISSANCE CORPS CAP BADGE A fine brass example, with two loops to reverse. Reference KK Vol 2 item 1925 page 17 The Reconnaissance Corps, or simply Recce Corps, was a corps of the British Army, formed during the Second World War whose units provided the mobile spearhead of infantry divisions. It was formed from infantry brigade reconnaissance groups on 14 January 1941. All the brigade reconnaissance groups of each infantry corps were formed into reconnaissance battalions, each usually bearing the number of its relevant division. For example, the 43rd Battalion, Reconnaissance Corps (based on the 5th Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment) was the divisional reconnaissance battalion of the 43rd (Wessex) Division. Initially, coming from infantry units, reconnaissance units used the infantry designations of battalions, companies and platoons. However, from 6 June 1942, the Corps changed to the cavalry descriptions of regiments, squadrons and troops. The Corps became part of the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) in 1944, still maintaining its own cap badge with two lightning strikes supporting an upright spear. With the end of the war, this number of reconnaissance units was not needed and the Reconnaissance Corps was disbanded in August 1946. Reconnaissance duties reverted to regular armoured units of the RAC.

ROUGH RIDERS 283rd [COUNTY OF LONDON YEOMANRY] LIGHT ANTI-AIRCRAFT BATTERY, 1st AIR LANDING ANTI - AIRCRAFT BATTERY SHOULDER TITLES [PAIR] A very scarce slightly faded, matching pair of Rough Riders woven shoulder titles. Reference https://nww2a6thairborne.weebly.com/the-283rd-county-of-london-yeomanry-light-anti-aircraft-battery-ra.html The 283rd (County of London Yeomanry) Light Anti-Aircraft Battery RA, later 1st Air Landing Anti-AIrcraft Battery R.A supporting 6th Airborne. The 283rd (County of London Yeomanry) Light Anti-Aircraft Battery RA, was the anti-air unit of the 1st Airborne Division in 1942 alongside the 2nd Airlanding Anti-Aircraft battery which supported thr 6th Airborne Division. Nicknamed the 'Rough Riders' they were formerly a territorial unit based in London with their sister regiment, 'The Sharpshooters' - 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry. They wore Imperial Purple 'Rough Riders' shoulder titles accompanying the Pegasus and Airborne flashes along with an imperial purple square backing on the beret with the 'collardog' capbadge which was RR on a spur, the same as the regimental collar dogs for Service Dress. Being an artillery unit, they also wore the white, braided artillery lanyard. In December 1942, it was renamed the 1st Airlanding Light Anti-Aircraft battery RA and served with the 1st Airborne Division until February 1944 when it was disbanded, some of the men went into the 2nd Airlanding Anti-Aircraft Battery. The 2nd Airlanding Anti-Aircraft Battery took over the role and instead of being part of a division was part of the British 1st Airborne Corps. The battery was to be attached to either airborne division (1st & 6th) when necessary. For the Normandy invasion, the unit provided a detachment of men and equipment to the 6th Airborne Division and would be flown to Normandy in 4 gliders. Only 2 gliders made it, one crashed into the sea and one crashed over France. While in Normandy the unit fought in arduous battles and skirmished alongside other divisional troops despite being a 'rear echelon' unit. Members of the unit were employed on the Anti-Tank and Howitzer artillery pieces with other members of the divisions' Royal Artillery units. While the detachment was fighting in Normandy, the remainder of the battery stayed in the U.K. and conducted parachute training at RAF Ringway in Manchester, with the detachment returning to U.K. in August. In September, the battery supported the 1st Airborne & 82nd Airborne Divisions in Operation Market Garden. It provided anti-air defence at an Airstrip near Grave in the Netherlands and for the 1st Airborne Corps HQ in Nijmegen, where General 'Boy' Browning was based. Some members of the battery were attached to General Urquhart's staff in the Arnhem/Oosterbeek area, mainly at the 1st Airborne Division headquarters at Hartenstein Hotel. On the withdrawal of the 1st Airborne from Arnhem, the division (including the battery) returned to England and in November moved from Marlborough Barracks in Bulford to Monkton Farleigh, Corsham Garrison, in Wiltshire. A few months later in the new year, the battery was confirmed by the War Office that is was to be split and reformed into the 5th & 6th Airlanding Anti-Tank Batteries. On the 22nd January 1945, the battery was returned to War Office control which was finalised on the 24th January. Following this, the battery was disbanded along with many other units within the airborne divisions.
