any thoughts on who these were worn by, came with some RA items.

The orange stripes make me think South African, but I'll let more educated members decide.'

Thanks Terry

My first thoughts we SA but they are more red than orange Imo.

OK Jerry. On my PC they look like a cadmium orange, which matches to a band of cloth behind a SA Nurses badge I have.

If red, then I would not think South African.

I had another look and think SA orange is correct which is what I thought when I bought them.

Thanks for commenting Terry, happy to have them as SA items are not so common in wales.

Glad if I was able to help. I do agree that they look South African, and yes, that is pretty cool. Don't you wish you knew what regiment, or even better, who wore them!

Stay well,

Terry
