Default 43 Wessex Div

Hi,
The Wessex with embroidered claws I featured is one of a pair- both facing the same direction. If this 'adaption' was a wartime feature it would indicate that Ordnance may not have been issuing facing pairs consitently.

The PRO file relating to the woven Div/Dist sign indicates it only came facing the one direction. This was because FS were only worn on the left arm of battledress post-war.

Regards, Stephen.
