Recce Patches
A couple picked up at an Army Surplus Store recently. Can anyone tell me which units wear or wore these, please?
The larger is 5 x 8 cm and the smaller one is 4 x 5 cm |

Hi Badger, The Recce platoon of D (London Irish Rifles) Company, The London Regiment wore a 4.5cm square version of this badge. so although similar the overall shape/size is not the same as theirs. regards John

Thanks for the replies. I have the Mercian and QDG ones. I have not seen the four other ones before, but who wears those?
It seems as though mine are something of a mystery, but I hope someone will recognize them eventually. |

The large badge is sold by 'Drop Zone Supplies', therefore they could be worn by whoever purchases one. They also sell a smaller 60x50 mm. There is a store in most Garrisons and on the internet.

Many thanks for the further replies. I see, Marc, that the large one is an unofficial badge made by a company to offer to anyone so I will record it as that. Would this also apply to the smaller version, do you know?
Thanks also, Tim, for putting in the identifications on the pictures in your previous post. I have the London Irish one, but I was unaware of the others, so that has added to my information. I appreciate all the help on this, and hope the small one can be identified also. |
