Default Irish United Nation Contingents

Having watched the Siege of Jadotville last night I was inspired to dig about and find these items. Having been put away many years ago with a note pertaining to use in the Congo.

The Brassard was shown plainly in differing formats. The nationality shield and the scroll possibly worn. Elements of the Cavalry Corps did serve in the Congo. Not sure if this scroll would have been worn while part of that mission or if unit specific badges were not allowed.

Thanks
Jack
