Having looked at both threads regarding this badge I have to wonder has its use been confirmed by documentary evidence as something doesn't add up.
If the Polish government commissioned the Royal Corps of Signals to train their boy's (young lads), it was presumably so that they could serve as signallers in the Polish Army. Therefore, one would expect them to have worn Polish Signal Corps badges.
If, in the Polish Signal Corps, there was some cachet in being trained by the Royal Corps of Signals and you wanted to announce it to your fellow Polish Signallers, it would make more sense to tell them in Polish and not
English.
If, you were serving in the Free Polish Forces alongside your British and Commonwealth allies, you had presumably received at least part of your training from the British Army, so why are there not similar badges for Polish boys trained by the Royal Artillery or Polish boys trained by the Army Catering Corps?
Why stop with the Polish? Where are the badges for Free French boys and the Belgian and the Dutch boys trained by the Royal Corps of Signals?
If these badges are legitimate, why have so few come to light?
Something definitely doesn't add up.
