I have been sorting out some more badges and I came across these three, of course they may not be military.

Ideas welcome as to their ID.

Thanks in advance Rob

St.Anton Arlberg - Ski resort patch ?

Quote:

St. Anton am Arlberg is an Austrian village in the Tyrolean Alps. It's known as a gateway to the Arlberg ski region and is often called the “cradle of alpine skiing” for its role in inventing the sport.

Thanks chaps, these came with a collection of cloth badges.The LH badge could be a school or blazer badge.

I think the Slanton Arlburg badge is a souvenir ski-slope badge.

These badges came with a collection of cloth items I bought some years ago and consisted of several formation signs from WWII and later, a mixed bag with Indian and 14th Army patches as well as others.

Presumably the Slanton Arlburg badge is where the person skied, but the Army Ski Association badge has never been worn, so perhaps a one-off visit.
