I spotted these sweetheart brooches in the German Underground Museum in Guernsey.
If you like history, it’s an interesting place to visit displaying lots of artefacts relating to the WW2 German Occupation of the Channel Islands.

Let the great wheel spin 
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) 🙂

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