Malaya/Borneo
I think that the info. on troops returning from the Far East put up these Unofficial badges to impress the folks at home. These unofficial badges even turn up on Bosleys site and fetch good money RASC FARELF, R. Signals FARELF, etc.
Just recently on ebay a printed badge for the Border Scouts and a shoulder title have turned up. These struck a chord with me because at a show last year, having my badges on display, a man came up and looked at the SAS badges and said "You havnt got one I had in Borneo" He described it as a Toucan on a blue background. Turing a further chat it turned out he was ex SAS his wife confirmed this. Is there anyone here that can confirm this. John,
