If the 141st RAC are anything to go by the first WM badges were actually regulars badges plated in the field by the attached REME units. There is a paragraph in one of the books i have covering the making of the badges in the field in Normandy. Not sure which book but it is either Flamethrower or In at The Finish. Both works of fiction but based on factual events. I lent both books to an ex 141 RAC member who confirmed that the characters were fictional but the everyday life and events were close to reality. I am not sure when the wm badges were first worn. I have always understood that the converted infantry RAC units wore a plated badge being adapted from their parent regiment badge. As such the slider would be plated as well. Was the wm badge every officially sanctioned?
