Default SA Tank Corps

Gentlemen,
Anyone got any thoughts on the SATC, they provided both moter cycle and armoured car companies and did well in Somalia and Abyssinia in 1940-41, although, the badge here is a later example and was not worn at this point in time.

Hi Frank,

my own little SATC collection:

SA Tank Corps 004.jpg
The early non voided version

SA Tank Corps 002.jpg
Same as yours but with blackened collars
SA Tank Corps 009.jpg
Titles, and its not the SA Trades Company Mr Owen!
SA Tank Corps 005.jpg
Sweetheart badge, a little worn

I would love to get hold of a SA Armoured car Regt badge "IV" (O1478)

regards, Iain

Hello Iain,
The little 1V, in silver, is superb and actually quite rare, I would think hard to find these days in South Africa.
Regards Frank
