The only thing I can think of is that maybe the T is for ‘territorial’ ? Can you make out any of the letters above or below? Looks like B.S.T maybe? tony 🍻 1

Harry the Mole Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Maybe seeing the whole picture might help in identifying. It could be a sports club related badge. Cheers, Steve 1

Regards That’s great, the cap badge is helpful 👍 So my first thought is the cap badge is Canadian , looks like a maple leaf in the centre. These are examples of Ww1 Canadian badges, if you could put the 2 together 😊 I’m interested in what Steve thinks… tony 🍻 20 hours ago, Harry the Mole said: Maybe seeing the whole picture might help in identifying.

No one Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Dear Gentlemen, There is a 'T' in the Coat of arms of Toronto: Coat of arms of Toronto - Wikipedia Although there may be no connection, there is a 'family resemblance'. Toronto armoiries, Blason de famille et nom Histoire – Trois Impression Combo – Italie Origin : Amazon.fr: Cuisine et Maison Yours sincerely, No one
Farkas Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Hi Gents, I’ve been through everything military I could think of… then after thinking back to Steve’s comment about a sports club I went sideways and thought Boy Scouts… BST - Boy Scouts T*** And now seeing No one’s info 👍 The Toronto Coat of arms definitely shares characteristics with the sleeve patch. So Gents, How about… BST = Boy Scouts Toronto ? tony 🍻 On 29/04/2024 at 20:49, Harry the Mole said: Maybe seeing the whole picture might help in identifying. It could be a sports club related badge.

Regards He is a cadet with the Sedbergh School Officers Training Corps. The town of Sedbergh was, back then, in the former county of Westmorland but, thanks to interfering Government pen-pushers, is now of course in Cumbria. The arm badge is the shield from the school crest and bears representations of 3 wolves, 3 lilies, 2 escallop shells and the Tau Cross. Pete. 3
