Hi all.

Very quick question. The hammer and pincers trade qualification badge/patch, was it worn on both arms above the rank chevrons or only on the right arm. This is for british ww2 battledress.

Cheers

During the war, in the Canadian army overseas (eg in the UK and later Europe), the trade badges were worn in different locations on the sleeve. Depends on the date.

As a Trade badge it was worn on the upper right arm only.

As the guys have mentioned right arm only but above a chevron and below a crown. See my albums for examples.
