Australia, WWII, trench art, 13th Light Horse Regiment V.M.R. hat badge (Cossum 1930-42, p8, d) in white metal sealed in an epoxy resin block in the colours of the unit colour patch, attached to a piece of timber attached at both ends to deactivated .303 cartridges and these fitted to a clear plastic base for display. Very fine.

The 13th Light Horse Regiment was established in 1915 and served in WWI. It was re-raised as a Citizens Force in Victoria with the designation of Gippsland Light Horse. In 1939 it amalgamated with the 19th Light Horse to become the 13th/19th Light Horse. It was disbanded in 1943.
