Believed to be pre WW1 Veterinary collar insigna and disks, First one would be Officer's and the next two would be enlisted mens collar disks. Because there really wasn't a Veterinary Corps until WW1 these may have been worn by those in the Remount, cavalry and other units who were taking care of the horses and mules at the time. If anyone can give us a better answer please e-mail me.
