FOR VALOUR

Hello ,

          I cannot thank you enough gentlemen for all the help and effort you have gone to for me, I have been in touch with the archivist at Sedbergh School and have been given some excellent help.

The chap is the brother of my officers collection of items who was killed serving in the RFC in 1917, God rest his soul. 

Regards David

He is a cadet with the Sedbergh School Officers Training Corps. The town of Sedbergh was, back then, in the former county of Westmorland but, thanks to interfering Government pen-pushers, is now of course in Cumbria. The arm badge is the shield from the school crest and bears representations of 3 wolves, 3 lilies, 2 escallop shells and the Tau Cross.   Pete.

 

 

Hello Pete,

          Thank you so much for the information absolutely brilliant, I will be able to do more research on the chap kind regards David

Hi Gents,

I’ve been through everything military I could think of…

 

then after thinking back to Steve’s comment about a sports club I went sideways and thought Boy Scouts…

BST - Boy Scouts T***

 

And now seeing No one’s info 👍

The Toronto Coat of arms definitely shares characteristics with the sleeve patch.

 

So Gents,

How about…

BST = Boy Scouts Toronto ?

Maybe seeing the whole picture might help in identifying. It could be a sports club related badge.

Thats a tough one 🙃

Not a common one, I can’t find it.

 

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the T is for ‘territorial’ ?

 

Can you make out any of the letters above or below? Looks like B.S.T maybe?

Thank you for looking much appreciated, I will have a look see if I can get an idea of the lettering.

Hello, 

          I would appreciate help identifying the badge pictured please? 

Apologies for the quality but it's taken from an original picture of the chap in 1906.

Sorry David,

No makers mark on mine…

 

 

Are you missing one on a tunic or are you looking to ‘complete the set’ ?

FOR VALOUR,

Membership in the OMRS is not an unusual request to access our records.  Membership is not expensive and has many rewards.

Thank you for your reply here, I am fully aware of the OMRS having been a collector of British war and campaign medals over 50 years. It was not a complaint about the information being only available to members just a response to the previous reply to my request. I'm sure that what you provide to members maybe invaluable but many people today especially have to watch their finances regardless.

It is the award document. A vorläufiges Besitzzeugnis is a "preliminary award certificate". For awards like the Iron Cross, this was sometimes the only document the recipient got, as the sheer number of awards and the exigencies of war made issuing formal certificates less common.

Hello Sir, 

              Thank you for that information very much appreciated. Regards 

This came with an iron cross, can anyone help decipher please. Regards 

Just thought i'd share this, the coin came with it.
