South African Signal Corps
Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I am an avid collector of SADF Signal corps memorabilia having served in the SADF in the 80's and was attached to 2 Signal Regiment and then 7 Signals and lastly Sector 10 Signals in Oshakati, South West Africa. I thought I would share my modest collection here with the hope of getting any feedback as to what I am still missing. :-) I look forward to chatting with you all. Mark |

Hello again Mark,
If possible could you show a closer photograph of the following:- On the display board bottom row, (immediately right of the belt & buckle) what is this shoulder flash? And the next one? (to the left of the SWA breast badge) And the one above that? (to the left of the Zambia arm shield) I don't think I have seen them before, any information would be appreciated. Thanks Mark. Phil. |

In response to Phil's request....
The flash with the Jimmy and the Signals colours is the current Signals formation flash. The old 'bokkop' (buck head) has been replaced by the Jimmy. The one directly below is the Army Gymnasium flash although the colours are 'off' The other 3 are apparently 'fantasy' flashes i.e. the units did exist in some capacity but the flashes were never approved by SADF Heraldry. I hope that helps ? Note: They were included in some flashes that I purchased a while ago. Last edited by markh6964; 19-07-17 at 05:20 PM. |
