Royal Artillery Badge.

[izzetafox]

We have found this badge(?) amongst my deceased father in law’s belongings.

Obviously it is from the Royal Artillery but the size is somewhat mystifying. It is embroidered cloth 8 1/2” x 7 1/2”. We are struggling to understand it’s purpose.

It seems too big to be from any uniform and doesn’t seem to have been removed from a standard or similar.

i have included a photo of the back in case it helps.

 

Can anyone suggest its purpose?

Is it actually attributable to the regiment or may it have been made by a third party?

 

Many thanks

it looks like some kind of home needle work for framing or possibly to go on a pillow. I have a couple of these and feel they are the same thing.

badges such as this were done by recovering service personnel as well as bored soldiers or wives/girlfriends, I have a few
