Unidentified cloth badge
Hi,
in amongst a small collection of militaria left to me by my Dad was this cloth badge: I have no idea if it's even military in origin, so any thoughts or advice would be gratefully accepted. For the record, he served in the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment in Palestine, Egypt & Trans-Jordan, and then with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in Austria, but whether this was something he picked up on his travels, I can't say. Cheers, Kevin

And the group charged with capturing and 'turning' German agents in the UK in WWII was called "the Twenty Committee" - XX = "double cross" and "20". Clever, wot?

Unidentified cloth badge
Prior to, and during WW2, the Lincs Regt wore a red 'X' on a blue background as a pagri/bush hat flash. Maybe this is a washed out version.

There are a series of crosses in waring that relate to Machine gun corps coy's some with backings, but no direct match, my money would be on a Lincolnshire variation. It looks like linen or flanalete. The museum may know.
Very interesting flash. Kevin |

Also possibly a variation of an arm patch if not previously mentioned. There are some examples in my album.

In my opinion a locally made regimental flash for the Lincolns - possibly even worn on sports kit. The Regiment was very keen on the red X - it was worn on battledress in a variety of formats - usually red on blue - and was even worn by officers of 6 Lincolns as a cloth beret badge in Italy.
