R.A.M.C. Sign
Here is a formation sign I have marked as 22nd Field Co. RAMC "Hygiene". Has anyone seen this badge before? It almost appears to be Asian made. Comments always welcomed.

UK made and absolutely genuine I believe. Listed by John Waring in his ID Pamphlet No 1 as JW1/839 : 1 Field Hygiene Coy RAMC - embroidered on felt. I have no idea what the design represents - too many green apples will upset your personal hygiene routine? "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"?

RAMC FS
Info from Kew (WO32/10724)
09.04.58. At 109th Meeting of War Office Dress Committee approval given to an arm badge to be worn on the left upper arm of BD by all ranks of1st Field Hygiene Coy, RAMC TA. ‘ The shield of the RAMC, in dull cherry, outlined in black, with an inverted triangle in the yellow of the Hygiene Arm Band, on which an apple is superimposed. The triangle and apple also outlined in black’. Offhand I don't know when this unit was disbanded or amalgamated into a larger formation. Stephen.
