Royal Navy work shirt
Can more than one trade badge be worn on the old style blue work shirt ,
if so would they all be on the right arm .e.g. commando dagger patch etc. |

Hello.
I've never seen any more than one trade or branch badge worn on the No 4 (old No 8) AWD (Action Working Dress) shirt with the exception of parachute wings, (printed blue on white) which I once saw worn by a submariner who was serving (or had served) with the subsunk parachute assistance group (SPAG) but in over 45 years of collecting naval insignia and many years serving in and working around the Royal Navy I have never seen anything else worn. Regards Tony |

Totally agree with Tony's comments. Never saw more than one branch or trade badge being worn on AWD.

Royal Navy work shirt
In the 1960s Royal Marines serving in Ship Detachment's routinely wore their green Commando beret with Royal Navy No. 8 working rig of a blue coton drill shirt and dark blue trousers. On the No. 8 shirt rank chevrons were worn in red on black, on the right sleeve only. I'm not sure when this started or finished but by the time I joined the RN in 1978 it was no longer worn. Do any of our former Royal Marine members remember wearing this rig?

They wore No.8s as working rig the whole time. |

Served in the Royal Marines Amphib. Detachment onboard HMS Fearless '69/70 and wore No.8's. Unfortunately whoever took the photo had it printed the wrong way as my Cap Badge is not over the left eye ! Singapore Roads ... we never wore SQ badges in 8's only rank badges. We also still had the 'tot' then !!
