Above you may view the scans for a WWI 195th Battalion sweetheart badge. This beautiful example has retained its fine design features, however its straight pin attachment is missing. The three color enameling on this badge is 100%. This sweetheart was cast in the form of a 195th Battalion uniform collar badge. A solid brass base badge and a beautiful sweetheart commemorative, very clean and still quite shiny...

Sweetheart badges and pins were often given to a female loved one, by their soldier lover, son (usually), or father. They could have been supplied, for a cost, by the quartermaster or by a private organization, such as Birks. Most were simply converted uniform devises from the regiment, and were available in the tuck shops. Many, if not all of the battalions and regiments had this type of inspirational badge. As the war wore on, many of the givers were lost, and did not return. Consequently, these items became very cherished by their recipients. Therefore they are generally called sweethearts?

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning

We will remember them.
