Rhodesian GS Cap Badge
Hi All
Can anyone please confirm the size of a Rhodesian General Service cap badge? I know they were quite small but I'd like to know if mine is a cap or a collar. It is 29,5mm wide and 31mm high. Thanks, cheers, Alex |

Hi Alex,
I believe this is a S.Rhodesia Staff Corps collar badge (Post WWII) you have and not a General Service badge. Let me know when you back in SA, so we can arrange delivery of the badge I owe you. Regards Steven |

Thanks Steven. What is the size difference between the Staff Corps cap and collar badge, do you know? Difficult to tell from photos.
Cheers, Alex |

I believe they were originally a different design. I will need to look at my reference books.
Alex, See this link that shows your collar badge appears to also have been worn as a cap badge. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...Astaff%2Acorps Last edited by Milmed; 10-09-18 at 02:08 PM. |

Hi Steven
Excellent, thanks. The reason I wanted it is because they wore it in the SRAF and I wanted one for my RhAF collection, so it looks like it is the correct one. Thanks again, cheers, Alex |

Hi Alex
I would say a collar, I had a few cap badges in the past and they were bigger than this one, nice maker plate. Brian |

No need to keep looking - the officers of the SRAU wore them. Will post pictures once I am reconnected with my scanner.
