Out of curiosity, my grandfather served with the Royal Artillery from September 1939 (with the BEF in France to the very end with 92 Field Regiment). He had joined the TA or, rather, rejoined it in 1934 having originally served in the TA from 1923 to 1927.
As I am trying to put together a collection of items to best represent his service, and have most of what I need, should I be looking for a set of these chevrons or is it an unknown, i.e. he may not have worn them as it was a personal choice, or did one have to wear them?
And I presume that if he could have worn the chevrons, that he would have been entitled to the five bar version? He was posted to 21 Army Group in March 1945 and I believe he was released in December 1945.
Sadly I have no photos of him in uniform that would help me.
