And I'll hazard a guess at the final one - top row right - being General John French, later 1st Earl of Ypres, though it's not easy to tell from the photogaph.

A very nice little collection indeed!

Does any one think that the younger one at the top, looks like the older one, on the far right at the bottom
Family History is a Pandora's box if you don't like what you see find a new hobby,only concentrate on the proven facts and not the facts you think you know.

I'm reliably informed by a past president of the British Badge Collectors' Assciation (ie my Dad) that this type of badge was first manufactured in 1895.  Kitchener lived  1850-1916; "Bobs" lived 1832-1914.

Edited to add:  on yesterday's "Flog It" the second seller had a collection of WWI memorabilia, including the Kitchener badge (although no mention was made of the badge)
