35th City of London ( Hackney ) Btn HG Titles.

The 35th City of London ( Hackney ) Btn Home Guard wore their shoulder titles in a unique way as in this example. Titles were mounted onto a shield shape piece of cloth before application to the uniform. Also included was a coloured square of cloth ( black and brown have been noted ) whose exact meaning is currently under debate and is possibly thought to be a Company designator. This example was previously worn by a member of the HQ company with a brief provenance included. The shields can also be found as a one piece embroidered item without the colour designator. Scarce example with clear indications of having been removed from a uniform.
