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:
