Out with no8wire and Chrispy at a well researched area that has had Military presence, 10 silvers, 2 military badges and 2 nz forces buttons, I've not researched the badges yet but if anyone can help it would much appreciated. Also first time out with the new Fisher F75 and so far it's proved to hit those deep targets.

13th (North Canterbury and Westland) Regiment was formed 18 January 1912. It saw action at Gallipoli, France and Egypt as part of Canterbury Regiment. It was amalgamated (1 June 1923) with the 12th Nelson & Marlborough Regiment to form the 12 & XIII Nelson Marlborough & West Coast Regiment. They are collar dogs.

I think the other badge is a British rank pip, early 1900s
