Home Guard Battalion No 10

The Home Guard during WW2 was split up into Districts and battalions instead of regiments like the regular Army and wore these special shoulder tittles to show what District/ country they served in.

Number 10

Each Home guard member would wear on each shoulder of either his battledress or denims a set of letters and below a number to match with his battalion.

These badges are printed black letters  on a Khaki background with a dotted line when the badge should be folded back and sewn just like originals issued in the war.

You can combine numbers to form  higher battalion numbers IE 1 and 0 for 10th battalion

Normally the cap badge worn was of the Country Regimental  badge like the Regular Army
