Thanks Rob

So being on a Australian tunic is correct and is this WW2 or post??

Thanks Rob

Rob, I suppose it is an Australian who was for whatever reasons attached to GHQ Home Forces UK.

Google reveals: GHQ Home Forces commanded all formations and units in the UK except those of AA Command, War Office training establishments (eg: ITCs, PTCs, Training Regiments and Depots and Schools of Instruction).

Australian BD were supplied to the British Army in bulk towards the end of WW2. I have one that is badges RASC and was worn in Italy 1944/45.

I'm sure they weren't supplied with Australian shoulder titles though.

Cheers chaps for the info.

It looks like the Australia shoulder title was not the first metal shoulder title on that jacket!

Those Sergeant's chevrons look more like 1960s - 1990s Household Division (Guards) pattern.
