A few interesting photos ,wound and scout.
 

Hi just like to show these interesting pictures.
One is an army scout the other is a wounded raf officer x3 .
Cheers Paul .

The scout badge is huge.
Great photos.

Here is the large badge shown with the smaller pattern.

Scout & Observer badges - cloth fleur de lys introduced circa 1942 by 47 London Division for Company Snipers

Devastatingly thought provoking, to compare the earlier photo of the RAF officer with the later one-armed image. Wonder what happened?

I think his arm has gone in the first image as well.

Great photos Paul, I particularly like the RAF ones.

First RAF image is of him sitting on a desk/table by a window and he definitely has two arms. :confused:

I just found these very interesting they came out of a house Clearence in the midlands .

Can anyone advise when the large scout badge, as per the first photograph, was first introduced and worn from?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

The Fleur de Lys Scout Bdage was suggested by Baden Powell c. 1897 and worn c. 1900 onwards until discontinued soon after WW1.

The large badges and the small badges with and without the bar below were worn simultaneously, in Gilding Metal, White metal, Bullion and worsted.

Some of mine shown below

regards

Thanks Simon. Great little collection.

Great photos!!

Can anyone tell me if there were Scout insignia (Patches) for the Canadians in WWI?

My great uncle was a Scout and I'm assembling a shadow box for him, would like to know if my Great Uncles' unit (24th Battalion) had these patches for their scouts?

Thanks in advance for any information.
