GENERAL SERVICE HEADDRESS BADGE, UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA ARMY, 1909 - 1919 Military badge, general service headdress badge, Union of South Africa Army, copper alloy, maker unknown, South Africa. Stamped gilded copper alloy badge of round wreath encircling the head of a springbok, around is legend in English and Afrikaans, UNION IS STRENGTH / EENDRACHT MAAKT MACHT, two hooks behind for attachment. Worn on headdress of the uniform at time of WWI, circa 1914. The badge was made in South Africa. The good quality of metal used in most of these badges indicates they were in the main made either immediately before World War I, or in the early stages when the expected duration of the war was greatly underestimated, and before the subsequent necessity of frugality in the use of materials was realised. Badges made later in the war were stamped from thinner gauge metal. Images are of the actual item/s on offer.
