Tim.

There are a number of similar titles to the Somerset one with the same style of letters, Bedford springs to mind, I do not think they are military.

I am sure they have been discussed before on the Forum, finding the old threads is the problem.

The RED CROSS wore this style of white metal shoulder title ,often with oval shaped brass backing plates with cut outs instead of slots in the plate.

No they didnt. All BRCS badges are gilding metal and much smaller lettering.

You may be confusing them with STA?

St John Ambulance are a possibility

Hi, PS looks like a South African 1950's Prison Service title. Regards Andrew

Thank you all for the comments so far. Looks like SOMERSET is part of a St John Ambulance title and PS may be South African Prison Service. Any ideas on what VRC stands for?
