Default RHA Egypt post WWI
a recent pick which I shared on the great war forum, where much insightful information was supplied.

among the medals are a MC, two MM's and a number of mons bars whilst a surveyor's arm badge is uncommon as well as a gunnery prize arm badge was on show.

And two different sun helmet flashes

The badge on the sleeve in the last but one picture is a Gunnery Prize.

indeed, my error in transcribing the information, that is why it is on the left arm not the right

I am fairly sure the badge worn by the WO1 is not a surveyors badge (S in wreath).

I think its a trick of the camera.

I can only think he is the Bandmaster and that he has worn a separate Lyre under one of his large Kings Crowns.

Anyone any thoughts on that?

regards

Jerry,

Yes, it is, cant argue with the close up.

I would also say it is the crowned version with the small crown just tucked in the fold.

The WO I is wearing a WO I badge, that is all.
One WO II is wearing rank crown, and S wreath something above .... star or crown. RA Survey qualification. Very very unusual, never seen that combination in a photo.

Regarding bandmasters I believe that only centrally formed RA bands had that establishment ... this from memory.
