WW1 Southdown Battalions Association ( Lawthers Lambs) Royal Sussex Regiment Enamel Lapel Badge

A scarce Southdown Battalions Association Lapel Badge , Made up of 11th, 12th & 13th Battalions of The Royal Sussex Regiment. They were commonly known as 'The Lawther’s Lambs', sadly suffering huge losses during WW1. Sadly some damage to enamel at about 2pm (see photo) where top layer has flaked off due to a ding otherwise in very good condition and maker marked Thomas Fattorini Birmingham.

The final photo is a copy from the internet of the last meeting of the Association in 1979, a number of whom appear to be wearing the lapel badge.
