RAOC items I am looking for
Copy of a post I wrote for a RAOC Forum - Can anyone help?
As many of you know, I research and collect RAOC items, and here are some of the rarer items I have never found. For the RAOC Bakers among you - Do any of you remember or indeed wore some small white bakerlite buttons with the RAOC badge moulded into them - worn on the 'Cooks White' tunic or white coat? In fact did RAOC butchers wear them as well?? Must have been produced in their 1,000's but I have never been able to get samples of RAOC bread wrappers or indeed the earlier RASC examples. Produced in very small numbers, I have never seen an example of a RAOC anodised 'Kings Crown' 1947 pattern cap badge or anodised buttons with corps titles around the edge - I do have an example of the later 1949 Kings Crown 'Slim Tonanti' in anodised aluminium however. The QC anodised RAOC badge we all knew was not widely issued till circa 1961 due to older badges still being issued.. Mike C I would also be interested to know about any unusual items you may have? |

I own one of the 1947 trial cap badges here: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...hlight=unicorn Alan |

It would be interesting to see such ephemera as bread wrappers etc.
I have nothing of great interest re. the AOC / RAOC although I've always liked this photo showing the decorative reverse designs of the medals wrongly worn to the front, and a RAOC black painted badge that an uncle brought back from a short stay and hurried departure from Boulogne in May 1940. |

I do remember the bread wrappers. They used to be put out for tea and toast in 4ADSR mess.

Problem is no one seems to have saved any, not even the RAOC (now RLC) museum... not even a picture of one. Last edited by Mike_2817; 03-01-19 at 08:24 PM. |

I'm sure there's nothing exciting here Mike but I've started this album, I've got a few more things to add

I have a '47 pattern Gliding Metal example with matching collar badges which as far as I am aware were never produced in anodised? Now as to the matching '47 RAOC anno button with title round the edge. Anyone got one spare? |

Yes it the bottom one (or left side if upright) I am hoping to receive, they were produced in Large & Medium but not as far as I know in small anodised.
