Hello,
That is a rather difficult question to answer, many Rhodesians in the LRDG also served with the South African army before their time actually in the LRDG.
The handsome cloth "LRDG Rhodesia" titles were worn and I would say rather proudly worn by many Rhodesian's whilst in Cairo.
The problem here is that there is really no one left alive today who can give you a proper answer to that, when I was a boy I had met a number of SA and Rhodesian members, but, they are all sadly long gone.
People like the Low brothers certainly wore Rhodesia titles, but, whilst actually serving with the LRDG, I can only say, with a degree of certainty, that when they actually wore titles, they wore their LRDG titles, this included both the "LRDG Rhodesia" and the more familiar "LRDG" both in embroidered cloth.
Kind regards Frank Kelley
