It's hard to work out the scale but do you think it could be WWI?

If so I reckon it might be a unit indicator.

Quite a few Inf Bns used a red diamond but the red diamond with the single red bar relates to 'A' Coy , 5/6th Bn The Royal Scots. It is the colour of the bar that denotes the company;

Red = A
Green = B
Yellow = C
Lt Blue = D
Black = HQ

The Diamond (it's actually a square - a diamond was used but was more elongated) should be about 2" sq and the bar 2" x .4" but I doubt it was that precise in reality.

If it isn't WWI then I am not sure at this time.

Hope this helps

The red square and bar are home guard skill badges or similar, I posted a thread with them in a collection with discussion
