[QUOTE="blackdiamond, post: 435995, member: 11617"] Incredible work - thanks casper and the other legends on this forum who put in so much effort to find what this small piece of history means. It's funny how your mind keeps returning to those one or two items you discover but can't quite figure out. The closest I had come was a replica Imperial Order of the Crown of India: [url]https://www.quarterdeckmilitaria.com.au/product/replica-order-of-the-crown-of-india-soon/[/url]. Needless to say I was aiming slightly too high. The plot of land I found it in looked very unpromising and I've rarely ever seen anyone there... but it is surrounded by some of the most largest and most expensive houses I've seen so it makes some sense that the IOR was "always well connected in upper society". Perhaps they held a small "abstinence" party there one afternoon and it got a bit out of hand. ;) Here's another, slightly more colourful, version of the badge: [url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/robertpool/3693080447[/url] [/QUOTE]
