Seac?
Does this title really stand for South East Asia Command, or is it something else? I've never seen a title listed for SEAC, and this one looks to be more postwar than WW2 vintage.

SEAC titles were privately purchased by soldiers returning to the UK from the Far East at the end of WW2.
SEAC became defunct on 30 November 1946. So, either your title is well preserved souvenir or a modern repro?

Interesting -- I've no idea as to its provenance, though.

I have a pair of silverish wire on blue/black SEAC titles given to me by a mate whose grandfather served in Burma with the REs 1944-5. I'll try and post pictures, they came with a job lot in a biscuit tin that had been in the loft for 30 plus years.

I also have a silver wire-embroidered badge with blue-black background which belonged to my grandfather who was in Burma with the RA, and at one point attached to R. Sigs. It's probably the same as mentioned in the last post. I've also seen one with a red background and silver wire.

Just found I already had photos of my SEAC badge.
