Field Force – not Airborne Division
Hi Mike, thanks for that, now corrected.
Unless last comment was by Sir Mike Jackson, where i stand to be corrected, 6th FF was a Short lived element of the British Army made up of Airborne and other forces from the regular and TAVR. Formed from 4th Airborne Brigade and designated as a NATO/BAOR reserve. Later formed up to 5th Airborne Brigade.
The Blue and yellow “Pegs” was not a DZ flash but a formation badge.Luckily it was during the cold war as not too tactical a choice of colours.
I have long lost my 6 field force badge off my combat jacket where can I get another please.
Sorry to hear that. They occasionally appear on ebay.
