Hi Guys,

been sorting through a load of badges and these are all puzzling me. There are a load so I've put them in an album.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, Bill

Hi Bill

A few to kick things off:

the 4 badges, top row, with eagle/shield are modern US Air Force.

Bottom Row -

Die Middellandse Regiment = South Africa.

"Animo Fide" = South West Africa Infantry Regt, or something similar.

The pair of collars at the end (thistle/scroll) are Transvaal Scottish (SA).

David

A few more:

Top row - Garry Owen is a US 7th Cavalry Pocket Patch, HMM stands for Helicopter Marine Medium so it's a US Marine Helicopter Squadron, the shields with 5 stars and an eagle above are US Air Force collar dogs for an aide to the 5 star General of the Air Force, the next set of shields are something similar (Joint Chiefs??).

Row 2 - Badge 3 is a civvie shooting badge, Badge no. 7 is a Brit University Officer Training Corps rank slide for a Junior Under Officer, in those colours off a females blouse

Row 3 - Badge 1 is a Womens Royal Army Corps sergeants stripes, badge 2 is another UOTC rank slide, badges 4 and 6 are South West African, the Tanks are Armoured collar dogs and the Rhino is a cap badge for 101 Battalion

3rd row: Rhino head badge is Namibian. Eagle above castle is South African, don't have access to my reference books right now so can't give you a better id.
4th row, mailed fist badge also South African.
Cheers,
Alex
