You are viewing a WWI era badge for a British artillery regiment called the 1st Aberdeenshire Volunteers. This rather large cap badge is made of heavy bronze, and made using the "stamped out" method. It is Highland related as seen by the surrounding thistle wreath, which commemorates it founding in Scotland. The number 33 can be seen at the bottom of the badge, and may be related to the Battalion number.


The 1st Aberdeenshire Artillery Volunteers were a part-time unit of the British Army raised in Aberdeenshire and neighbouring counties in Scotland in 1860. Its successor units served with 51st (Highland) Division through many of the major battles on the Western Front during World War I. In World War II one of its regiments escaped the surrender of the 51st (Highland) Division in 1940 at Dunkirk, and went on to serve as heavy artillery in the Italian Campaign. The other regiment served with the reconstituted division at Alamein, in Sicily, Normandy and through North West Europe to the Rhine Crossing and beyond. It served on in the Territorial Army until 1967.
