* For King and Country they served

Hello enthusiests ! Got out to dig my favorite site once again and found some more relics from World War 1.In the ammo dept. I pulled out .303 training blanks ,clip for .303's .303 live round , flare head , a 38-55 spent cartridge and a protective cover for high explosive shell.For gear I found a soldiers enamelled large mug , a nice brass peice for gunsling I suspect , a good old no.2 grommet and a glove snap button.As for badges I was real happy to pull 2 general service collars, 2 epulet INF and a very hard to find officers lower sleeve crown badge which made me do the jig of happiness.Last but not least is the item I pictured alone , I suspect it was to hang something from a Highlander soldiers uniform as it was found in a spot where I;ve found Highlander badges in the past.It looks like a thistle design on it.If anyone can tell me exactly what this is please do.All in all it was sure a fun hunt.Hope to do it again next weekend.God Bless and Happy Hunting...Panz

At this spot they were still using the Ross rifle .303 which was inferior to the British Lee Enfield.HH..Panz
