Positioning above the cannon carriage is a distinct three-sided red enamel pennant or shield frame inlaid with the gold letters "R.A.A.", representing the Royal Artillery Association. The base of the design features a deep blue enamel rectangular bar proudly highlighting the cutout text "LADIES SECTION" in all-caps block lettering. Measuring 25mm in width by 16mm in height, the flat reverse side incorporates a classic horizontal pin back fitting alongside the manufacturer mark "J.R. Gaunt London" stamped neatly into the backplate.

Historically, these badges were worn by wives, mothers, and daughters of artillerymen during the interwar and World War II periods to identify auxiliary support networks and old comrades association functions.
