Anglo Boer War Veterans Association Lapel Badge. 11 years 6 months ago #10744

TheBreaker02 Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 50 Thank you received: 3	Just another badge from just after the war, for the Defenders of Ladysmith Association. I wonder if there were Defenders of Mafeking and Kimberley associations formed and badges issued, so far after many years of collecting I have found of any association having been formed.

That is only the fifth example of one of these that I have actually ever seen, not a very common little badge, yet Messr's Fattorini and Sons must have made quite a lot.
