Default Almeric Paget Massage Corps Armband

Thought I’d share this image of an armband I picked up some years ago. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has seen one previously or photos of it being worn.

Many thanks and Happy New Year

Hello,

I believe that the armband is the WW2 Chartered Society of Massage and Medical Gymnastics formed in 1937 and not the WW1 raised Almeric Paget Massage Corps.

best wishes

Hello Simon and Stephen,

Yes, you are correct, not sure how I put the wrong title in the Subect, it should have read:

“Chartered Society of Massage and Medical Gymnastics armband” which is confirmed by the badge with the C.S.M.M.G. initials.

I can’t find any photos of the armband being worn.

Many thanks for your posts
