Formation signs and stripes

[KOMalta]

Maybe an obvious question, were all regimental formation signs and stripes worn on both sides of the tunic? I'm aware shoulder titles did.

Thanks in advance

Good question. I think many were if not most but SHAEF and Pathfinders for example were worn as singles.

And some of the forces in exile during WW2 also had single formation signs and shoulder titles.

I think you have to specify the time period and form of dress for a more accurate answer.

I'm thinking World War Two period on battledresses.

Pathfinders - formation signs? Please can you explain which badges you are referring to?

See attached for a US made example but British made badges also exist.

Is this not a qualification badge worn in addition to the normal Pegasus formation badges? Just trying to keep definitions clear.....

Maybe I haven't made myself clear....

What I mean by formation signs and stripes would be as per attachment for the Commonwealth and British Army during WWII on battledresses.

Thanks

No, it was worn by some members of the 21 and 22 independent parachute companies which allowed them to be identified as such but it did not require additional training.
