I would like to find out more about some WWII military badges used in a necklace and bracelet set my great uncle gave to my grandmother when he came home from the war. My grandmother was too young at the time to remember anything he may have told her about the gift and he has since passed away.

The badges are brass with enameling. The roundish badges have the motto of the Order of the Bath enscribed on them (Tria Juncta in Uno).

I've done several internet searches but haven't found much information.

Any information on who wore these types of badges, what they signified, or anything about jewelry made from military badges would be great.

If anyone knows of a good forum where I might ask, that would also be appreciated.

I posted a picture of the set here:

All your items are made from British Officers Rank marking insignia known as "Pips" and normally found on the eppulates of the British Army Uniforms.

Items like these fall into the catagory of "Sweet-heart" items given by soldiers to their girlfriends or wives.

it's a gorgeous piece of militariana. frankly, i've checked and feel more than a little chagrined that i can't find out anything of substance about that set. i wonder, if it could be the equivalent of what was called 'sweetheart jewelry' back in the day.

best of luck and enjoy
