First and second world war badges and medals

Couple of cap badges and another badge item on the far left not sure what that is???

[Linked Image]

Couple of dogtags
and some sort of wrist tag.

Admitedly not war related but earned by m great uncle who worked for birkenhead transport corporation before the second world war. One medal for 5 years clean driving and another for 10 years clean driving,

Dogtags of family members.

The following are photographs taken by my great uncle who served in the 8th army in the north african campaign as a despatch rider. He must have liked photography as the folowing photograps is only a quarter of the collection and paints a portrait of life in north Africa.
