Army Gorgets

[David S]

These have recently come to live with me

I am having difficulty pinning down what Corps or Branch

The crown is a Kings Crown

Any assistance is tremendously appreciated

The crown was too big to post above

Hi David,

One Corps springs to mind. The Q.A.R.N.C , Queen Alexandra Royal Nursing Corps have Purple and Red gorgets, could they be from that service?

My thoughts initially but here's a pic of the QARANC gorgets (not mine - found online) kinda - sorta

Hi david - Is it not to the war office? or is that red on red?

[David S]

Red on red (not braided) is the standard unless you're the following

RAMC - Dull Cherry

RADC - Emerald Green

RAVC - Marroon Red

RAPC - Primrose Yellow

AEC - Cambridge Blue

RAOC - Dk Blue (changed to Scarlet in 1941)

REME - Dk Blue

Chaplains - Purple

So far these defy identification

I know not a lot about police uniforms & insignia, but in silver / silver plate rather than gold coloured finish that button design would be worn by the likes of Chief Constables.
