Wood Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 Another in enamel. Anyone know the significance of this one?
Brian Wolfe Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 That is a very nice collection, thanks for sharing it.I would think post #21 has to do with Fire Prevention or some sort of fire watch duty. I'm mostly going by the equipment depicted on the pin. Cheers Brian

leigh kitchen Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 SFP - "Stirrup Foot Pump" could be the meaning of the initials.The womans HG plastic badge is a breast badge, it's usually assumed to be a cap badge & appears to have been worn that way by some people - I have a khaki FS cap which was given to me by the original owner when I was a kid, although I never actually met her, it has the name "Ivy Hall" wreitten in it & has the plastic HG badge fitted.

leigh kitchen Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Tin Can Fusiliers is a song, written by Lawrence Wright who wrote ballads as "Horatio Nicholls" country & Irish as Gene Williams @ more ballads as Betsy O'Hogan, he wrote all sorts including waltzes, spiritual, & "military" such as The Toy Town Parade & The Tin Can Fusiliers. He was around during the first half of the last century.I don't know when he wrote The Tin Can Fusiliers, but he was born 1888, died in the 1960's.The badge with the lion, crown etc - looks like it's "meant to be British, with the motto & red/white/blue ribands, but with a non-specific crown.
Wood Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks for that Leigh, Tin can Fusileers is now moved from military into my civilian enamels/badges collection.Regards,Pete
