Stephen and all
Yes indeed - looking forward to Jons book. It is partly through discussion with Jon regarding the complexity of local and unofficial manufacture, as well as evolution of approved designs that my understanding has progressed. More specifically: for Commando formations the variety of manufacture for early unofficial insignia is legion. The variety in subsequent, 'official', red on black designs also become more complex the more you look into it. Not to mention theatre made variants. And that is just one set of British WW2 units.
