Nice to see all the other examples shown and to have the different types explained.

Hi Ry,

That is the most common of the war time examples, first issued when the 7th returned to Britain in November 1943, machine embroidered. I have a few of this type including a pair originally sewn to a 46 pattern 1948 dated BD blouse, so they appear to have been used into the post war period.
