WW1 and WW2 assorted badges

[Spitace41]

Hi all. I have decided to upload a couple of pics of most of my civilian war related badges. I am sure that most of these are familiar to British collectors, although there may be a few here that are not, and those in other countries may not have seen many of these before. I have tried to describe these as best I can. Also, I would like to invite other members to post their badges. Cheers.

I believe the diamond shaped badge with "NS" is a S.African National Service Badge.

Very nice. What is the CPS one?

[StuG III]

That's the S.A Civilian Protection Services lapel badge, the BBD is the same, but in Afrikaans - Burger Beskermings Diens.

Great to see this stuff, as I know virtually nothing about SA items
