sabrigade Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have been collecting WW1 South African sweetheart badges and brooches for sometime and have discovered some very unique and interesting variations. This brooch is very interesting as it bears the unit name within its design, I have not encountered that before. The Regiment served in the German East Africa campaign during World War 1.

Mervyn Mitton Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi - Will - I agree unusual to have the unit as an added section. I wonder if they were produced for the unit - or, if he did this himself ? How was Afghanistan _ I hope you found it worthwhile ? Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi Mervyn, I am still in Kabul, very interesting place. Looking at the badge, I would suggest it was made for the unit. Regards, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
