G'day Joe, Keith BC and others,
The second horozontal Sigs badge is on the uniform that my father was wearing when De Mobbed in November 1945 and on his slouch as well. He had been in line of communications sigs in Aust and in Port Morsby before being seconded to New Guinea Air Warning Wireless and spending 3 monthe with 3 other sigs and a couple of native boys behind jap lines, on top of a mountain over looking the Lea airstrip when it was occupied by the japs
Today I have been at the Sigs museum at Simpson barracks in Watsonia - a northern Melbourne suburb, where I volunteer. We have a board of Sigs colour patches in the foyer, the one that you show is marked as being "Corps of Signals 1945 - 50".
I hope that this helps
Regards
Phil.
