RCA WW2 Epaulette Title?
Hi All,
I appear to be near the end of my search for badges my Grandfather would have worn. http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ctureid=132877 Question, he appears to have an epaulette slide or title, what would that have been? would anyone have an image they could share. Many thanks - Mark

Hi Mark, can you tell us any of the details of his service? Do you know which RCA unit he served with? The image appears to show a 2 CID patch with the Canada nationality title above the patch. And, it appears to be be the CII type patch.

RCA WW2 Epaulette Title?
Bill/Jo,
Thanks for the Replies, he served 40-46, His record, shows he served 6 Fd Field Regt, RCA, alternating between 21st Field Bty & 13th Field Bty which i presume are part of 6 Fd. Regards Mark

An embroidered version of the 6 RCA title and of the CII sign.
13th and 21st Batteries both served with 6 RCA. Jon

Maybe. There are silk embroidered CII patches that were private purchase. The officers' pattern was bullion wire.
In addition to the 6 RCA shown by Jon, there were other variations of the embroidered pattern also the printed type.

RCA WW2 Epaulette Title?
Jon/Bill/Jo,
Many thanks for the reply and images, i thought the 6 RCA was later and there was a 6 Fd Regt one, i'm still learning. Please see the arm badges i have. I unfortunately missed out on a bullion 2 Bde patch, his brother also served in the Bde in WW1 as an officer and i understand that was the correct patch for him, unfortunately KIA. Hopefully these are good Regards Mark

Like Jo I thought the CII badge was intended for officers but the photo shows that not to be true.
