Hello IAD
Regarding the clamshell branch badge:-
"To show the branch to which a Wren belonged special blue non-substantive badges were provided. These were:
HOUSEHOLD WORKER: SCALLOP SHELL
Motor Driver: 3-spoked wheel
Signals : An arrow crossed by a lightning flash
Storekeepers,
Porters and Messengers : Crossed keys
Clerical Staff : Crossed quill pens
Postwomen and Telegraphists : Envelope
Technical Workers : Crossed hammers
Others: Six-pointed Star"
Thes badges were only in use from November 1917 until the disbandment of the WRNS in 1919.
Hello E1
H.M.S. FOXGLOVE was a 'Flower' Class Fleet Sweeping Sloop of the Acacia type, built by Barclay Curle and launched 30th March 1915. A Portsmouth ship, she was first commisioned in April 1915 under the command of Lt C.P.Hermon-Hodge R.N. She was placed into Reserve at Portsmouth on 11th November 1931. Later refitted as an Escort Sloop and whilst serving in this role, was badly damaged by enemy aircraft on the 9th of July 1940, whilst escorting a Channel Convoy
I hope this info helps
