Bruno,

Got my book yesterday. long awaited, and wasnt disapointed.
SUPERB!!

Well done. It has ID'd several signs I was struggling with and shown me other signs I didnt know existed and now want!

Could I ask about one in particular on Page. 319 - RM Siege Regiment.
The badge I always associated with this was the ALL red grenade (D375) what you describe as the 1942 pattern.

If the 1940 Patterns you show with red flames only are indeed RM Siege Pattern then it devalues the WW1 Infantry Bombers badge which is identical to those two.

Can you definately prove that these badges with red flames only were worn by the RM Seige Regiment in WW2 and if so were they made for the purpose or did they adopot an un used stock of WW1 Infantry Bombers badges?

regards
