Military Badges

Detachable badges in metal or cloth are a key element of military uniforms. They identify the rank of the serviceman, their particular regiment or ship, qualification or specialist trade.

Stoke Newington and Hackney Volunteer Regiments

The National Reserve sought out former soldiers who could make up a force that could be quickly added to the army in time of need. In October 1914 it formed into Companies, to help guard railways and other vulnerable points.
