Intelligence Corps "FS" Armband - A Rarity?
The armband below came in an old suitcase find of Intelligence Corps uniforms and material from a WW2 officer, Captain W S Karran.
He was a solicitor before the war and documents found with the uniform indicate that was his role within the Intelligence Corps. He had prior service in the RAuxAF, bizarrely!
I cannot find any details about this armband. It does not conform to the standard Int Corps armbands although the colours are clearly for that unit. It does not appear theatre made although it is unmarked and the only notion I can think of for "FS" is Field Security?
Any clues appreciated. I have emailed the museum at Chicksands but no response as yet.
