Lads,

After my last gaff... in posting pretty pics on Face Blab and forgetting to post them here... I thought I'd better continue this thread with images of some other relatively scarce trade-related insignia. This time, the images are of RAR Band, Scottish dress (post 1953)... starting with 2 images extracted from Australian Army Standing Orders for Dress (in about 2012, I think).

The original blog post then goes on to show some of the relevant RAR Band insignia from the reference collection that we have amassed for the preparation of Volume 3 (which as many of you know, will cover QC period rank and trade insignia of the Australian Army).

For those of you who want to read my blather about the rest of the topic the balance of the post can be seen at:

I trust that this material will be of interest to some of the regulars here!)

Regards

Mark
