British Royal Navy Minewatching Service Cap Badge (1954-1962). Backplate And Lugs Intact.

The Royal Naval Mine Watching Service was a civilian organisation formed in 1952 as part of the auxiliary forces of the British Naval Service.

Its intended wartime role was to man observation points overlooking ports and strategic waterways, in order to report mines dropped by aircraft.

The service came into existence early in 1952 when nearly 3,000 men and women enrolled for duty in an emergency.

In 1962 the service was amalgamated with the Admiralty Ferry Crews Association, to become the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service (R.N.X.S).
