Hello mate, dont go throwing away the LRDG badge yet lol

Im doing some research on this style of cap badge atm, Looks to have been possbily made in 44 in or around Italy. Hence why we dont find them over this way, our chaps had been taken out of the group by then

I belive there is a large photo in the Imperal Museum of a British LRDG trooper with this style of badge in use. if anyone has a photo of this, I would love to see it. "IM bugging the chaps at the IWM atm "

So for me, its still up in the air untill I can track down these photos etc.

Regards and my 2 cents

PS Sorry I cant help with the others. Ol Martin on the forum had a great eye and has done quite abit of research on the PPA badges, fingers crossed he stumbles onto your thead
