unknown intelligence Corps shoulder title
 

Dear Forum

Just picked up a very nice medal, insignia and documents group to a WW2 intelligence Corps WO2 the slip on titles have me intrigued I C (1) obviously intelligence Corps 1 but what does the 1 relate to? Pretty sure that the Corps was never deployed in Battalion numbers so any ideas what the 1 relates to would be appreciated.

Field security Section, maybe? Tim, Grey Green Acorn should be able to help.

I think it is Intelligence Corps ( India ). See Bosleys postal auction of 26th July 2006 lot 597.

P.B.

IC(I)
 

Indian John.

Brilliant Peter makes perfect sense Burma Star in the group! Cheers.

Many thanks Paul

Correct! (or so I thought). Looking at the slip-on again it is definitely I.C.(1) and I seem to recall having a brass title I.C.1 somewhere. The slip-on could just have been a production error, but some local makers got it right ie I.C.(I) Mike

I.C.(I)
 

Int Corps (India) on OG.

There is a KD rank slide with a major's crown above IC(I) bottom left on my collection.

I thought that initially but it's definitely a 1.

Haha just put my glasses on and your right definitely a number1 as opposed to a capital I. Mmm Jury still out then any other thoughts?

Grist to the mill!

IT is definitly Indian Int. Corps, no question, John.

Here's the Indian-made (?) I.C.1 title. Unlike the title at the head of this thread, no parentheses but definitely the numeral One.

I.C.1
 

That's two I.C.(1) or I.C.1 items that really exist. Someone out there must have an idea of what they are. To me, the metal title looks Indian made - so could it be "Indian" and not "Intelligence"? Mike

Mike ( and Jon ),

Perhaps a query for The Formation Sign ?
