I agree but single versions come up from time to time however beware of the 'cloth faker', he is getting very clever and will soon relieve you of your hard earned cash. If you are tempted to buy something rare, have the item 'sale or return' and seek advice here on this forum. There are a couple of experts who would be willing to help. Good luck with your search.

FORMATION SIGN
Dear Mike and Oriskany,
Many many THANKS!!! for your comments. Agree with Mike, this is a very rare piece. I had this item with me in the 70s. I got it from a BRITISH ARMY contracted tailor who had his shop next door. But lost them in the event of shifting houses thru the 70s and 80s. I also agree with ORISKANY, that fakers can easily fake this piece, if they can fake more complicated signs , this is as easy as ABC. Well hope that it does not come out in a few month's time. If it does, take a good look again , the fakers have started working on it. "BEST OF LUCK WITH ME!!!" Sincere regards, GURKHA RIFLES |

JWS
Jungle Warfare School, (located in the 1960 at least) a few miles east of Johore Bahru, Malaya. Staffed by British, Australian, New Zealand and Malaysian personnel. The sign is obviously a "jungle-ised" version of the-then sign of School of Infantry, Warminster.
