Wartime SAS Shoulder titles
Can anyone point me in the direction of photos showing these shoulder titles being worn on battledress in WW2. An online search of the IWM photo collection has not yielded any results.

Jon,
There are really plenty of pictures. See some pictures from my photo collection. Also, check Gavin Mortimer's excellent book 'The SAS in WW2'. Cheers, Johan Last edited by johanwiegman; 15-04-17 at 08:58 AM. |

Jon,
That picture was taken in the summer of 1945 on arrival at Stavanger Airport in Norway, to disarm the German Army there. On the right is Major Roy Farran of 2nd SAS. Cheers, Johan Last edited by johanwiegman; 15-04-17 at 09:07 AM. |

Officer on the left
hi Tim,
I do not know that. He is wearing a Pegasus flash, so I think he belongs to the British 1st Airborne Division, also taking part in Operation Doomsday. Cheers, Johan |
