City of Leicester Civil Defence Welfare Services lapel badge.

Brass and enamel, pinback lapel badge for the City of Leicester Civil Defence Welfare Services. As CD services expanded it became apparent that some form of welfare provision was required. Often provided in the form of mobile canteens or the provision of comforts, few CD Welfare organisations were recognised with a badge, Leicester was one of the exceptions. This example in good condition with undamaged enamel and manufacturer marked Thos.Fattorini,B'ham to the reverse.
