No. 8 ( Guards ) Commando
Chaps I'm after a pair of the above shoulder titles/tabs please. And does anyone know what exact cloth badges were actually worn.

As for PRE standardised (red on black) titles - I have seen several purporting to be No.8 COMMANDO - black on grey, black on blue, and a host of others. There is no evidence of any title being issued and with a good network of contacts and experienced specialist collectors to draw upon, the consensus is they in deed never existed. Ignore what you see in some books - the answer is always research, research, research - and to date the serious Command collecting community would urge caution given a total lack of evidence. I do recall the adage 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' but talking to fellow collectors and veterans leads to a fairly certain conclusion. One can not rule out the odd theatre made version - but given disciple in the unit - it is doubt any wear would be sanctioned. Hoping this helps - Mike |
