Collar
Badges - Observer Corps
|
The observer Corps was formed
in the early 1960's. The brass collar badges were only produced in singles and the
staybrite in pairs. The inscription "Ar Faire" means (On
Watch). The badge depicts a Crane holding a stone in its claw. The
purpose is that if it sleeps the stone will fall and waken it, so it is
always alert.
