British Militia Button - What is it?

[Militarycross]

A friend happened by yesterday with a small handfull of things that had come from his Grandmother's Button Box. Among the odds and ends were 4 dime sized buttons, made by Firmin & Sons, London. I've spent some time looking and can't seem to find an image in any of my books or the places I've looked on the net, like this great site:  https://asahelena.wixsite.com/militarybuttons. 

 

So, Gentlemen and Ladies, what is the story on this button?

 

Thanks very much.

Hi Phil,

it’s a Canadian button I believe.

 

The table below shows it, describing it as ‘Canadian Militia’. I think it shows it is an Officers button.

 

These 👇 are a few examples of others including regional Montreal button…

 

A scarce button I would imagine 👍

 

Cheers

You’re welcome Phil.
