Default WW2 Pith Hat Patch Help NZDC

Hello
Can any one help me regarding a ww2 pith hat I own, once belonging to Lieutenant Colonel James Ferris Fuller.
#6069.
I understand he commanded the 2NZEF's Dental Services overseas in WWII.
The Pith hat I have with his details inside looks to have had a patch pined on at some stage.
As per the photo's you can see pin marks on the left hand side.
I would like to know what it would/should have looked like so I could possibly replace it.
Green Square? Green / White?
A picture would be great but any help would be fantastic.

Cheers
Corey

Hi Corey, I have a battle dress and service dress tunic that belonged to Major Gordon McCallum, who was OC of the 1st NZ Mobil Dental Unit, so have done quite a bit of research on him, and your Colonel James Ferris Fuller is mentioned a few times.
Fullers sun helmet is worthy of requesting his service files if you haven’t already done that.

I have an article that describes the WW2 NZ Dental Corps Pennant that was hoisted above the hospital at Trentham Camp as — navy blue and Sherwood green, inscribed with the initials NZDC.

According to the NZ patch bible on page 129, the colours for the NZDC puggaree is — dark blue / peacock green / dark blue.

So I would bet the family farm on the puggaree colours.

Brent

Just looking at page 43, the Arm of Service Colours for NZDC is Sherwood green, so I'll hold off on betting the farm just yet.
