Summary

Lapel badge issued to employees: lapel badge featuring the General Motors logo with GMH printed inside, and the inscription 'advancement of transport'. The back of the badge is engraved with M1216. The pin was issued to Mr Eric Prout during World War II, believed by Mr Prout to be a security measure, although another suggestion is that it was issued as an appreciation of employee loyalty during the war years.
