This collection of badges tells an interesting story.
The ID discs, cap badge and tank arm badge suggest original enlistment into the RTR but the presence of the Duke of Wellington's Regt cap badge, the cloth mailed fist sign of 50th Indian Armoured Brigade and the Indian pattern RAC slip-on title would seem to suggest that he was later posted to 146 Regiment RAC which was converted from 9th Bn of The Duke of Wellington's which, like many converted regiments, retained their former cap badge. 146 served with 50th Indian Armoured Bde from 1942-1945.
