Title: Badge Identifcation
Post by: acceber on Sunday 01 September 13 12:06 BST (UK)

Hi,

Please can anyone help identify the circular pin/lapel badge which is being worn on a suit by my Great Grandfather (b.1897).

The photo dates from approx c.1947-1957 and is a formal head and shoulders portrait photograph, possibly from his work.

Any help much appreciated,
acceber

Looks like Rotary International?

I've seen something like it before but I can't remember where. Fat lot of use. It's not Trinity House, is it?
