    Hi,
    I have a couple of items that I need help with.
    #1 are a pair of Royal Artillery badges with a metal plate - I can find lots of just badges but none with the plates. Are the plates just an add on? Are these cap badges? They are 2"L.
    #2 is a badge from the 7th Battalion 1st British Columbia - it is 1 3/4" x 1 3/4". This had a pin on the back (rather than lugs) but it has broken - would this also be a cap badge?
    Any information appreciated

    I think the ones with the "plate" are cap badges, and the plate was used on the inside of the cap to stabilize the attachment. But hat's all I have...........not much, sorry!

    The Royal Artillery badges are sleeve/arm badges for Senior Sergeants, worn above the chevron.

    and that would explain the diminutive size......they would probably look a bit lost on a cap.................
