Hi All,

I'm still trying to badge this jacket and have just found out that in August 1944 the unit was posted to the BLA.

According to the tinterweb almost every unit in the BLA was assigned to the 21st Army Group so if that is the case I'm almost there but need some help again.

Do I need the shield on it's own, the shield with one sword straight vertical or the shield with two crossed swords?

I get the impression the crossed swords were for HQ staff so an engineer company would not be that but I can't find what the single sword was for.

I'm also wondering about the Lance Sergeant bit, does he need 3 stripes (and a full Sgt would have had 3 stripes and the grenade above them) or 2?

Thanks in advance.

Michael
