Recently got a copy of dress regulation India for between the wars and it seems the Indian Army would wear a metal badge rather than a Ribbon, it might be Canada or south Africa though?

Thanks guys. It sort of appeared familiar but I could not find it in the references I have.

Regards,

Jerry

Interesting, the friend is an Italian and he bought it from the UK. Strange how these items travel the world.

I thought it was a possibility, I have flashes for IAOC and signals and they are different to their British counterparts although I'm sure a lot of Brits, particularly officers, served in them!

Indeed Lee, I have a named RIASC KD tunic which was for a British officer who chose to serve with them during WWII.
