Combat Cap (Boonie) Badge Dates
 
5 Attachment(s)
I have a fair collection of boonie badges now and am wondering about the dates they were worn and if there were different manufacturers.

I know some badges have several versions, is there any guide for these badges?

I have added some pics of the front and rear of some badges, can anyone tell me the dates which these backings were worn / manufactured please?

Thanks, Bill

Darby Whitbone from Canada produced books on boonies and titles. If you google him or chalineaux should be able to find website which displays them all.

Thanks for the replies.

I don't know how old the website is but I've emailed Darby to see about getting a copy of his book if he has any.

Regards, Bill
