That’s very interesting – I have an almost identical brooch dating from WW1 and the Royal Flying Corps (the forerunner to the RAF). I had assumed my grandfather wore it on his uniform but presumably it was actually my grandmother’s. You live and learn – many thanks! (you can just see it here in the first image: http://wp.me/p2p6x6-Ji )
Thank you. How intriguing! I really like how you’ve displayed your Grandfather’s memorabilia and it’s wonderful how it’s been kept in the family after such a passage of time.

Funny that – I just found my RAF cap-badge given to me by one of my RAF sweethearts (I was WRAC) π

Interesting. I like the fact that there’s a story behind each piece of memorabilia.
