Buttons
4 metal buttons found on the boot sale at Hartford.
I can't understand why I have never collected these before...
My dad was in the TA(Territorial Army) and they are very familiar objects.
He also had a button polishing guard that I hope my mom still has..
If so I will include in on here.
It was just a longish shaped piece of Brass that you slid under the buttons,thus avoiding getting polish on your uniform.

I think the CD stands for Cyril Defence who invented a martial art in 1939 that the Home guard used to great effect involving a sharpened carrot.
Those are great! (Michael, you're so funny!)
Who wants cheesy buttons?
John found a few British buttons at the flea market a couple of weeks ago. Will send them to you. Maybe you can identify them.
