British 2 Corps FS (2nd Pattern)

[badjez]

I believe that the FS in the scan are 2nd pattern versions of the 2 Corps FS (Waring 122a). It replaced the leaping salmon version, and can apparently be found in a printed version as well.

If my identification is correct, please can anyone tell me when these were adopted, and when the Corps was disbanded?

Thanks, Stephen.

Stephen,

This 2 Corps was formed for the planned operations at Suez in 1956. I have found little about it as the operations did not go as originally planned. It was however worn as I have two examples of it on battle dress blouses.

I'd be interested to know if anyone can add anything further.
