Singapore District

I have seen a printed version of this sign but until now I have not seen an embroidered example. Could anyone please tell me if this version is known, when it dates from and up until what date it was worn?
Thank you. |
I have one similar that I believe is an original local made example, I think they are 1950s but not sure. There is another recent thread on this patch in the mystery/unknown section

Thank you; mine came from a house clearance and was cheap as chips so I think that they are genuine examples.

Singapore District Formation Sign
Hi, what you have there is a Singapore District Formation Sign used sometime after the war. By the way there is no Singapore Command, before the WWII Singapore was under Malaya Command. :)

How far down the sleeves were these worn? Were they always worn in a pair?

Ah, many thanks Tim. Approximately how far from the top of the sleeve / epaulette would they sit do you think?
John Cleese in 'Privates on Parade' only wears the one right-facing patch on his right sleeve, but it certainly is the right patch. |

Some formation badges would be on poppers / press studs if the garment needed regular laundering. Tim |

In the India forum I've posted a question about coloured backings on Indian Army rank pips. Have been searching for months to find out about them. I wonder if by any chance your knowledge extends to that? Best wishes, Eddie |

Sorry, I have no specific knowledge on Indian Army coloured rank badge backings. I might assume that they followed the British Army pattern with yellow for cavalry and scarlet for infantry etc. Tim |

I have attempted to post some more Singapore Varients but my iPhone will not allow me to upload to the thread - have a look st the images in my photo gallery if you want to see some other variations- bullion etc

That is a superb gallery. Almost certainly the best collection of myriad variations on signs worn post-WW2 in Malaya, Singapore and Malaysia. And a pair of mint Jungle Warfare School signs - very desirable. I particularly like the tailor-made FARELF signs with subtitles Malaya, Johore Bahru etc. A couple of my examples attached.

An example of the sign sewn to battle dress below an arm title.
