    Hi,
    I was recently given these two badges. One looks like a standard Australian Commonwealth Badge but I can't find a comparable badge anywhere online matching the HMS Renown. I have done a bit of research on the ship but am keen to know more information about this badge. Thanks.

      Interesting story....I wonder if this is from when it became a royal yacht?

      HMS Renown was a second-class predreadnought battleship built for the Royal Navy in the early 1890s. Intended to command cruiser squadrons operating on foreign stations, the ship served as the flagship of the North America and West Indies Station and the Mediterranean Fleet early in her career. Becoming obsolete as cruiser speeds increased, Renown became a royal yacht and had all of her secondary armament removed to make her more suitable for such duties. She became a stoker's training ship in 1909 and was listed for disposal in 1913. The ship was sold for scrap in early 1914.
