Hi Michael....WW2 berets have liners I dont think the beret is inside out because of this. Also it should be a little rectangular leather patch that sits inside the beret. The liner could of been removed but thats going to make the beret very hard to make parade worthy.
I was wondering earlier about the band being some form of recognition for HQ Squadron since they were captured in this engagment however I can find no reference to bands being worn on berets for this purpose in the British Army. I welcome posts from people who will put me right on that fact.
Each man carried his pay book with him at all times. So throwing badges away and ripping badges off the BD will not help. If you've ever picked up a WW2 pay book look inside, ever wondered why the address is inked out?
