Top = Tank Corps/RTC/RTR arm badge.

Bottom one looks like a spurious V Force badge. let the SF experts say more.

regards

I mentioned the V Force badge in a previous thread. Although I would not claim to be an expert regarding this unit: given the comparative rarity of early Jungle hats, date of the Cole book referred to, etc ... I am minded to give this badge some mileage. The background on the item illustrated by micky007 is a darker shade of green than the one on the hat, but I would certainly retain an open mind.

Not sure this link works - but if not - it can be found through the search facility as 'V Force - Fascinating item'

Obviously any other comments and thoughts would be welcome
Mike

Many thanks
My computer is going in for repairs - all sorts of niggles with it, including inability to pick up links on some sites such as B&CMBF
All the best
Mike
