Price:
50 - 75 $
The silver badge shows an eagle carrying a child in a small boat above a crown. Underneath is a scroll with the motto SANS CHANGER. Pair of lugs to reverse.
All those who volunteered before 16 October 1914 were given the silver badge as a personal gift from Lord Derby. The eagle and child are taken from the heraldic crest of the Stanleys, the Earls of Derby which shows the eagle and child in its mediaeval form. His motto 'Sans changer' was also adopted by the Liverpool Pals. The Liverpool Pals battalions served in 89th Brigade until 1918, part of 30th Division which was the first of the Pals Divisions.
