Is there any significance in the 2 versions of the 2 types shown apart from the fact that the silk versions may be for full dress or mess dress?
fyi - the the two at the top feel like silk, the ones at the bottom are a fine cotton. Thanks.
Hi Dave

To the best of my knowledge the D Day flash was only worn initially on Battledress and later on No 2 Dress by the 4/7RDG. Today it is only worn on No 2 Dress by The Royal Dragoon Guards.

These are all 4/7 RDG and date from 1960-1980. I believe the differences in style arise from various manufacturers.

Best wishes

Gordon
