MAGNIFY

This is the complete set of the RND (formed in September 1914) badges, including an officer's bronze field service and an RND shoulder title. Four out of the six other ranks badges have the Gaunt's maker's plaques on the reverse. These men fought principally at Gallipoli and later on in France and Flanders.

The regiments of the Naval Division were named after great historical British naval officers, eg Hawke, Anson, Nelson, Drake, Collingwood and Benbow.

These badges are in excellent condition and there is some age patination to the reverse. They are original badges, not to be confused with the very clever fakes put out at the end of the 1960s, which have somewhat larger plaques to the reverse.
