The green enamel CD Rescue Instructor's badge is probably as rare as the C.A.G.S. Instructors badge (Civilian Anti-Gas School). It is shown with several armbands within the Postal Museum Archives, but little information is available about where, when and how it was issued. It is the same shape as other instructor badges but with green enamel. If you have enjoyed reading the blog, please support the site with a small donation. Thank you.

Not seen anything like this cap badge before. I assume it could be for a First Aid Post or a First Aid Party Leader to wear. Or, the FAP letters are for something entirely else.
The ARP badges issued by the Cooperative Wholesale Society (CWS) are relatively common as the society ran many ventures in the north of England. The various colours may have related to roles within the ARP.  CWS (Cooperative Wholesale Society) ARP Badges A number of enamel badges were manufactured for issue by Scottish welfare organisations. Formed in December 1940, the Emergency Relief Organisation (E.R.O.) (part of the Department of Health for Scotland) managed the rest centre service and post-air raid welfare services for people made homeless by enemy bombing in Scotland. Below is a rare badge for the Rest Centre Service Scotland.  Rest Centre Service Scotland enamel badge One of the rarer badges issued is the Civil Nursing Reserve Nursing Auxiliary (NA) example below. I've only ever seen one in the flesh (held by the Postal Museum in London) and one referenced in Jon Mills' book Doing Their Bit - Home Front Lapel Badges, 1939-1945.
