Default 'ENGLAND' slip on title

Hi folks

Just spotted this photo of W.Stanley Moss author of A War of Shadows published 1952

Showing him in Coldstream Guards BD with an 'ENGLAND' slip possibly white on black.

I have seen them before but have never seen one being worn.

Regards
Sean

Interesting to see.

A 'Gt. Britain' title is scarce to be seen won, but more the norm. England, N. Ireland, Eire/Ireland or Scotland very unusual. Wales I've never seen.

Interesting photograph, probably a trick of the light or camera angle but the bottom ray of the metal Capstar worn appears squared off at the base.

Simon.
