Thanks for the kind comments - just back from a long hot camp ... great company and banter as ever - but now catching up ... so please excuse brevity
Jon188 - your expertise regarding these Malayan pieces far exceeds mine - always good to hear your thoughts
Yes indeed - similarities are evident re title in post 1 and my 'cut down' one.
Re the 'Bulletin' reference from Jon (Postwarden) - I agree ... the bulletin is always a useful source and a good reason to join the Military Heraldry Society. The article is a very useful reference, which I think Jon is exploring further. To me, such articles prove a useful guide to 'existence' by a certain date - not necessarily 'wear' at that date. No doubt Jon will get to the bottom of it or have a useful theory.
I attach an image of a weird example - the colours being quite garish.
Hoping this is all in the 'spirit' of the origins of the thread, and welcoming further thoughts
Regards
Mike
