This was given to my mother form her grandmother when she was 5 years old, this sweetheart brooch is not from my great grandfather as he never served in any British military.

any info about this would be absolutely awesome as it is a mystery to where this has come from.

all i know about this brooch is

imprinted on it Norfolk regiment-1st east Anglian regiment
imprinted on it Motto: firm
Role: line infantry
founded:1881 

is imprinted on it HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE (Shame on anyone who thinks evil of it) which is the motto of the order of the garter

it also says on it Worchester

for context my grandmother has 6 siblings 2 of them serving in ww1 for the Australian imperial forces (both killed).

all of them came from England from a place called Lancashire and all of them moved to Australia around when Australia was made a country.

any questions please leave in the comments or dm me and i will try my best to answer to the full extent
