My boyfriend and I are about to visit his Grandpa. The last time we were there, Gramps showed us this belt from WWI that belonged to his father. We took pictures of all the pins his father collected during the war and sewed on to it. It would mean a lot to him if we could come back and give him some information on these. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a link to the album.
I will try to help the best I can
FIRST PICTURE The grenade on the right is the symbol for the 1st Grenadier Guards
The badge with the snake in the middle on the right is the royal service corps
Bottom right laurel surrounding the circle with the crown on top is the Royal Corps of Engineers
I am sure the black button is one of the Royal Rifle regiments but I need to be sure.
I cannot identify the rose on the top right. I can find plenty of regiments with a rose badge but they all have something else with them.
I can't see the one on the left clearly enough
SECOND PAGE - I cannot honestly indentify any of these except that one of them is Australian
THIRD PAGE - Right side top is the West Yorkshire Regiment (will add more)
More later
The two machine guns crossed with the crown above should be Royal Machine Gun Corps.
Huh I see the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles pin. It's the one with the moose head (5th one down). My grandfather was a sergeant in that regiment in the early part of the war. I have the same pin as well as his medals
