He e-mailed me a bit ago that he was going to be away for around six weeks as I recall......work seems to have gotten in the way of life....either that or he has run off with some sweet young ewe and is too busy getting busy to be here...

They look like Aussie WW1 or WW2 Marksmen badges.

From a cloud of smoke I reappear

The badges are 'MARKSMAN' Badges Check out this site for more info

But basically they are probably British or Australian or New Zealand badges as we all tended to use British badges.
