I should think if it is will you will have likely annoyed those who had spotted it as it’s not apparent in the main picture or description.

Next time I see a sleeper of a Welsh badge you may be interest in on eBay or an auction I’ll be sure to post it on a thread to help you and all those who hadn’t spotted it. |

Thanks Luke that will be good of you as I have missed a few in the past.
T6 RWF in w/m and T ASC WBMB s/t are high on the list if you notice them. Ta |

Thankfully, I think you may have saved someone a few dollars as that's not a wing I'd like in my collection.

This is a wonderful and informative thread on the SF wing. I wanted to add an interesting item to the discussion. Notice where the legendary Tommy Macpherson (Colonel Sir Ronald Thomas Stewart Macpherson) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Macpherson wears an SF wing on his battle-dress tunic. I have never seen an SF wing worn in that place before.
Has anyone seen an SF wing worn like that before? What is also interesting is that I am not certain that he was with the Jedburghs. |

You may well already have come across this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behind-Enem.../dp/1845967089 I have mixed views of some accounts in the book, but admire the work Tommy Macpherson did post war for the Commando Association etc. I think it was widely believed he was certainly preparing for work as a Jedburgh - he had been captured in a reconnaissance prior to the 'Rommel Raid' at Beda Littoria so must have been repatriated (or escaped?). I only read extracts of the book. Regards Mike |
