Description: | This is a Merchant Navy cap badge. It belonged to Henry Taylor from Gateshead, who joined the Merchant Navy in 1915. One of the ships he served on was torpedoed during World War I, and the British India Line issued these badges to crewmembers who were torpedoed. It shows Britannia sitting on a lion and holding a shield. Despite his experience Henry Taylor stayed with the Merchant Navy until long after the war. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East war | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
