Unidentified Pin Badges
« on: Thursday 21 February 13 08:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

My Grandmother was a St Johns Ambulance lady in the second World War and my Grandfather was in the Church Army. My Mum still has Grandmothers ID bracelet and St Johns Badge, but she also has these other pin badges which we have no idea about.

Is there anyone out there that recoginises the badges and can tell us what they represented?

Thank you

I have no idea about the LF (or FL) initials pin but the others are fairly standard Victorian/Edwardian brooches, often termed sweetheart brooches. Chrisann
