Hi Mike,
Took a look at my copy of Tylden (The armed forces of SA 1659 - 1954) and he mentions when discussing the SAC uniform - 'The first shoulder titles were the initials worn vertically. This was altered to the usual horizontal pattern' - and he references a Lt.Col Lane in the Feb 1946 edition of Nongqai and notes from a CR Prance esq. of Port St.Johns.
Regards
Steen
