Armoured School Centurion Tank Sleeve Badge
On one of the forums a couple of folks were asking about the sleeve badge. I finally got around to photographong the one I have in my collection. It is the badge for the right sleeve.

Sorry to be pedantic chaps but some things do need to be right or else you get confusion further down the line.

John, what are the measurements of the Centurion badge?
Just an observation. The barrel appears to be in the brace (but probably was a design necessity to keep it from breaking off when worn), which raises the question as to which way the badge was to be worn?

The brace on the badge is cosmetic because the gun cramp on a Cent is at the extreme rear of the vehicle.

Mine came with a repair log from a Centurion tank.

The tank sleeve badge is 5.5 cm x 2 cm. There is no maker mark on the back.
For interest sake, here are a couple of scans of the log book that came with the badge. |

Looks like what we used to call a "work ticket". Kept in the troop store.

Could someone please tell an ignorant vehicle stacker where the Armour School was situated at Bovington possibly?

Hi Jim, This thread is about the Canadian RCAC school. Try posting in the British section under the Cavalry Yeo/ Tank sub-forum.

There's also the extension of that at Royal Armoured Corps Training Centre (my alma mater) at Cambrai Lines, Munster Barracks, Catterick Garrison. If you do wish to discuss this further I respectfully suggest you do it under the "General" or "Off topic" sections. You'll find that plenty of us here have served or attended courses at either or both locations.
