Red Cross Agriculture Fund Committee Member Lapel.

Based around the county committees of the NFU the War Organisation of the Red Cross & St.John raised funds through various events, horse shows, fetes, county shows etc. It also ran a Rural Pennies collection and it is to this scheme that this gilt and enamel pin back badge is probably attributed. This design exists in silver and gilt and mirrors the Penny a Week fund collectors' organisation with the more ornate design presumed worn by local committee members. Surprisingly few encountered.
