RASC despatch group title or US Airborne?
3 Attachment(s)
Recently purchased on the bay, a pair of arc titles sold as RASC Despatch Groups "Airborne" signs: on a closer examination, the cloth seems to be rather black than dark blue, so I guess this is a pair od British made "Airborne" titles for the 101st US Airborne Division. Could I have your opinion, gents? Thank you in advance for your help!

Worn by RASC Parachute units in place of the RASC titles in WW2.

Hoot,
Interesting comment. Do you have evidence of this being worn by RASC units? Jon |
Jon, they are described and illustrated as such in "Badges of The Empire's Waggoners" and I have seen images of them being worn in WW2.

Thank you.

This would seem the logical explanation, that these are indeed RASC and I have them marked as that in my own collection but in all collecting life I have never seen any evidence proving it, you might have thought with all the interest in Airborne stuff there might be at least s photo out there.
