A gift from a sailor to his sweetheart ?
HMS Danae was launched 1918 and saw service with the Royal Navy between the wars and the Polish Navy during WW2.
AWA Flying Group Overall badge. Mint condition cloth badge. Thanks to a site viewer I can now attribute this patch to the ‘Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft’ organisation. A.W. were a major producer of aviation products pre and during WW2.
FIRE armband. Heavy duty red cotton canvas armband with the word 'FIRE' stitched to the band face, with a roller buckle as a fastener. This armband is of pre / early war vintage when volunteers came forward for fire prevention duties. This style of band was rendered obsolete with the introduction of the Fire Guard armband under organised fire guard control.
A members ticket for a horse racing event at Newmarket 1942. Excellent bi-coloured enamel and brass badge. Reverse with matching obverse issue number, and ‘non-transferable’ detail. The war was not intended to get in the way of the ‘sport of kings’.........
