Unknown titles
Continuing the process of inventorying my collection. Can't find these two in previous threads/archives; so, the usual questions: unit, period, and originality? Thanks for the help!

Royal Victoria Regiment;The Regiment was formed in 1960 as a result of the amalgamation of all the Citizen Military Forces infantry battalions in Victoria.

The border on the Australian title indicates pre 1960.

Thanks for your help identifying this title. As to how it ended up so far from home, I don't recall how I happened to acquire this particular patch, but for over 40 years I've been responsible for hauling bits of militaria away from where they belong to my relatively remote location...

I think 'paramilitary' is a stretch. Think Knights of Columbus and Odd fellows, not Phalangists and Red Shirts and you'll be closer to the mark. Jonquiere, BTW, is famous - for a given value of 'famous' - for its blueberry festival and its mascot, 'Bleuay', a giant animated berry. No that's frightening!
