Lapel Badge
 

Hello all,newby to the site,would like to know if there is a lapel badge or miniature badge depicting the Blue Ensign with Crossed Swords,as my Avatar.
The Ensign is for Other Ranks Afloat,and was the shoulder flash of my old unit
RASC Water Transport.
Many thanks Ray

Hi

Definition of when that ensign is flown:

Minor watercraft operated by the British army fly a Blue Ensign with crossed swords in the fly. Commissioned ships of the Army (i.e. those commanded by commissioned officers) fly a Blue Ensign with the army badge in the fly. The ensign with swords only was once flown by all army-operated vessels; nowadays it is called the Royal Logistical Corps ensign and is restricted to vessels commanded by non-commissioned officers, though it may also be flown over appropriate shore installations.

Thanks for that info Eddie,i did know some of it,but some of the info was found to be useful,forgive my ignorance but what does (FOTW )stand for.
Have you ever come across the lapel badge,i am sure i saw one in the mid sixties in a shop window in Portsmouth,could have been mistaken.
Any how thanks for your interest Regards Ray

Thank you Bantam, for your generous welcome to the Forum.Regards Ray.

Sorry - FOTW = Flags of the World site - well worth a look!
