REGARDS Sorry, I don't have any more information on the Kenya Red Cross. I purchased these badges from a dealer whose mother had been in the Red Cross and had saved them over the years and decided to get rid of them. Thank you for your comment. Bob
Ulsterman Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Nice-look like 1960s- 1980s versions. I reckon the Kenyon one is @ 1985.
Mervyn Mitton Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Top left seems to be a generic pattern - just different wording for different Countries. I think Kenya is around the date Ulsterman puts on it - very tribal with the spears. I particularly liked the Veterans badge. I'm not sure that Red Cross doesn't qualify as a militaria subject. However, it goes nicely here and I hope Members will be able to contribute examples from their Countries. I will add some South African types. Mervn
bmsm Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Here is a Red Crescent Badge from Iraq. It was used from the 1930's - 2003 and can be found in slightly different shapes. Bob
