Above you may view the scans for this unique and interesting Sweetheart pendant.

It is made of brass, perhaps originally a uniform button, but transformed into a pendant by adding an exotic bezel to the button and removing the back attachment piece and inserting round piece of celluloid as a cover for a picture. Quite a unique piece, the only thing missing is the picture.

Guaranteed original.

Sweetheart badges and pins were often given to a female loved one, by their soldier lover, son (usually), or father. They could have been supplied, for a cost, by the quartermaster or by a private organization, such as Birks. Most were simply converted uniform devises from the regiment, and were available in the tuck shops. Many, if not all of the battalions and regiments had this type of inspirational badge. As the war wore on, many of the givers were lost, and did not return. Consequently, these items became very cherished by their recipients. Therefore they are generally called sweethearts ...

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning

We will remember them.
