One of the reasons I like The Formation Sign is that it seems virtually every issue answers a question I have about insignia I own or that are shown in photographs I own, or that I have been "wondering" about.

Jon, I have mine thanks and an interesting article on the Scripture Readers.

Another great edition ... and very useful to get updates to 'Badges on Battledress' ... the quality of the information in 'The Formation Sign' bulletin pays for the subscription many times over, let alone giving access to fellow collectors, trips, and some exclusive publications. Hoping more enthusiasts join too
