Hi good evening just thought this was an interesting picture showing two trade badges worn at the same time , regards ,Nemo

Possibly a means of indicating he is a vehicle mechanic.

Interesting and strange at the same time. The trade badges appear to metal as well as the shoulder titles. Cloth were the norm. Also, I believe both those badges were to be worn on the lower left sleeve? Shame the cap badge cant be made out.

I want to know how he kept his hat on, at such a jaunty angle?:confused:

I think that the only reason its staying on this head is because its resting on his ear. Once he stood up.... |
The shoulder title looks like it could be RAC..... or ASC....
|
Possibly RAF, as that’s an RAF Apprentice 4-prop propeller badge on his arm beneath the artisan badge.

I’m not sure, it looks a lot like the RAF Apprentice badge introduced after WW1 and continuing in use until we’ll after WW2.
|
He looks to be an adult so would he be wearing a Apprentice badge??
The Driver badge is very similar so I would say a Drivers badge. engr9266 |

Perhaps a Cavalry Regiment chap, converted to armour, the Cavalry liked their metal badges.

Obviously the jaunty angle was the 'in thing'. Pic attached of my dad in North Africa WW2. 2nd Battalion The Buffs.
