CLB Junior Training Corp badge

The Church Lads Brigade was formed at St. Andrews Church, Fulham, in 1891.  From this one Company started by Walter Mallock Gee, the then secretary of the Church of England Temperance Society, the organization grew rapidly.  With cornerstones of the Brigades work being strong Christian principles and healthy physical activity, the numbers grew to having up to 8,000 on parade at the Royal Review of 1908.  Meanwhile the Rev. Thomas Milner at a Kilburn Parish Church opened the first company for girls in 1901. Originally they were known as the Church Nursing and Ambulance Brigade for Young Women and Girls, until 1923 when they became an Incorporated Society known as the Church Girls Brigade.  A major reorganization in 1936 freed them from all military meaning and intention.  The Brigades continued their work through the Second World War and after.

Coronation of George IV of England

With the country at war and all able-bodied men needed to fight, there was a shortage of labour to work on farms and in other jobs on the land. At the same time it was becoming increasingly difficult to get food imported from abroad, so more land needed to be farmed to provide homegrown food. The Women's Land Army provided much of the labour force to work this land.

Giuseppe Garibaldi (July 4, 1807 – June 2, 1882) was an Italian military and political figure. In his twenties, he joined the Carbonari Italian patriot revolutionaries, and had to flee Italy after a failed insurrection. He then contributed to the independence of Uruguay, leading the Italian Legion in the Uruguayan Civil War, and afterwards returned to Italy as a commander in the conflicts of the Risorgimento.

He has been dubbed the "Hero of the Two Worlds" in tribute to his military expeditions in both South America and Europe.[1] He is considered an Italian national hero.

'A badge for a Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in bronze and dating somewhere around C13/14th possibly very slightly later . This is a very scarce item and it relates to The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem being a Catholic chivalric order of Knighthood that traces its roots to Godfrey of Bouillon, principal leader of the First Crusade. According to reliable sources in the Vatican and Jerusalem, it began in historical reality as a mixed clerical and lay confraternity (association) of pilgrims which gradually grew around the most central of the Christian holy places in the Middle East, the Holy Sepulchre or the tomb of Jesus Christ.This would have been a pin for a member of the order , there is a mark on the reverse where the original pin would have been fixed '

HRH The Duke of York and HRH Pricess May marriage medallion

6 July 1893

Mary of Teck (Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes; 26 May 1867 – 24 March 1953) was the queen consort of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, as the wife of King-Emperor George V

The Daily Herald newspaper first published the Bobby Bear comic strips in 1919. Other newspapers, notably in Australia, followed on and these were also immensely popular. By the early 1930s newspaper’s children clubs were in full swing and the Daily Herald launched their own Bobby Bear Club as part of a general media war to increase circulation. Later during the 1930s The Star and The Argus (Melbourne), both of Australia, brought out their own versions of the Bobby Bear Club together with similar badges.

Bobby Bear himself was based on the traditional Steiff bear figure, a high-quality, plush toy figure made from 1902 by the German company of Margarete Steiff GmbH. At about the same time the Teddy Bear toy was also invented in the US where the US president, Theodore ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt lent his nickname to the toy.

The Bobby Bear club was free to join and only required a number of newspaper coupons. On joining, a certificate, handbook and enamel badge were issued with organised club events for children and other announcements printed in their newspapers. The Bobby Bear club like others, was involved in charity and hospital fund raising. One popular event was the Daily Herald’s ‘Help the Hospitals Contest’ that involved children dressing up as Bobby Bear and other related characters to sell raffle tickets and raise funds for hospitals nationwide. They were big events with big prizes too, for example in 1932 there was a £20,000 prize with raffle tickets costing 6d (6 pence) each. An immense amount of money in those recession days when a nice London suburban house would cost less than £5,000

This badge was produced from die stamped brass with two enamels (red & light yellow). There is a pin fitting on the reverse with an imprint of the manufacturer’s name of ‘Roden, London’. The badge measures just slightly above 1” diameter (26mm approx.).

The Australian newspapers mentioned above also issued their own badges. These were the same design and style, the only difference was they substituted the newspaper name with their own.

Imperial Service

The Territorial Force Imperial Service Badge was a short-lived decoration of the United Kingdom awarded to those members of the Territorial Force (TF) who were prepared to serve outside the United Kingdom in defence of the Empire, in the event of national emergency. The conditions of enlistment for the TF laid down at their creation in 1908 did not allow for soldiers to be sent for service overseas against their will, as the TF was intended for home defence. However, any man could volunteer for the Imperial Service Section and serve abroad in times of war, which entitled him to wear this badge.[1]

The badge was worn on the right breast of the uniform. It was not compulsory for the badge to be worn.
