About this object
Military badges; a collection of eight uniform badges, worn by Geogria Sargeant in the Royal Norfolk Regiment. The badges and buttons have been mounted on cardboard and set behind glass in a wooden frame.
Sargeant enlisted in the New Zealand Expiditionary Force, at about the age of 40, after spending many years in the British Armed Forces. He landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, as 8/126 with the Otago Infantry Batallion, and was evacuated wounded on 8th May. In the few days he was there, he had been hit a number of times – in a waist belt carrying a watch, in a money belt and most importantly in a New Testament bible in his breast pocket, which saved his life. Sargeant was discharged in 1916 as medically unfit, and was awarded the New Zealand Meritorious Service Medal.
The family lived in Royal Terrace, Owaka, and after he returned from Gallipoli he returned to his old trade repairing boots and shoes.
