Can any of you Gents tell me the meaning of these badges.  The silver 1940 pin has to do with "Soldier's Christmas" and the Gold 1918 badge is for the Soldiers and their families.  Were these pins issued by the Swiss Government as a commemoration of service, or are they like German tinnies, given out for donating money to aid Soldiers? 

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

The one on the left is titled Soldiers Christmas 1940 and was probably part of a fund raising scheme.
