A badge is a small piece of metal or cloth that is worn to signify an affiliation, achievement, or authority. Badges are often worn on clothing, such as uniforms or jackets, and they can be attached with a pin or a clip. Badges can be used for a variety of purposes, such as to identify members of a group or organization, to indicate rank or achievement, or to provide proof of authority, such as a police badge. Badges can also be decorative, and they may feature designs or symbols that are significant to the wearer or the organization they represent. Some badges are collectible or traded among enthusiasts, such as military or police badges, and they can hold historical or sentimental value.

A historian is a person who studies and records past events, often analyzing and interpreting historical data to understand and explain how and why events happened. Historians research various sources such as documents, artifacts, and oral accounts to piece together an accurate picture of the past. Their work involves examining historical trends, making connections between events, and offering insights into how history has shaped the present and can influence the future.
