WW2 Royal Sigs Officer's Cap badge / Phantom Arm Patch
Hi All - I'm new on the forum and have much to learn! I collect and operate WW2 / post WW2 radios as a Radio Ham and have a deep interest in the activities of the Royal Corp of Signals. I have in my collection a couple of wartime, what I've been advised, other ranks cap badges - the one piece affair. I know the two part badge is post war. Could anyone explain please the difference between the officers and OR's cap one piece WW2 cap badge pls? I re-enact Phantom as a Royal Signals 2/Lt and would like to get the correct cap badge. Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
Also - have a Phantom related question. From 1944 Phantom had it's own establishment in support of 21st Army Group. From the pics of personnel I've seen I assumed the Light shield with dark cross arm patch worn on the rt. shoulder was the dark blue cross on the yellow background representing 21st AG (Lines of Communications under a separate establishment). 'Experts' have insisted it was in fact the Blue on White of British 2nd Army. I'm not sure this is correct as Phantom worked with all Armies under 21st AG.
Can anyone shed any light please?
