Mike that is a really interesting article you referenced. Thanks for sharing it!
I had noticed the wings, but never thought about finding out which nation they came from. Guess I was more interested in heir cap and collar badges!!! Terry |

I guess whoever wrote the article made a mistake as all the photos show right hand.

British Army practice is to always wear foreign wings on the right breast (and only one at a time). It’s tolerated on combat dress but foreign wings are not normally worn on No.1 or 2 Dress. However, as the FANY are not technically a part of the British Army (but are a voluntary organisation) I guess they can do what they like!

As Tim previously stated - shame about the mistake re Foreign Para awards on 'left' - should be 'right' I believe. Image that accompanies the article Last edited by Mike B; 21-12-22 at 12:10 PM. |
