Cross Cannons
Hi
Can anyone identify this badge. It belonged to my late father in law. He served with the Army Service Corp in WW2 and was with his medals and cap badge. Many thanks for any help. |

Frank,
He wouldnt have worn that badge if he was in the RASC. Its only worn in the Royal Artillery and its a Gunnery Instructors arm badge worn in conjunction with rank badges on the arm. Still worn today. regards

Thanks
Hi manchesters
Thanks for the information and the prompt reply. He must have picked it up as a memento from somewhere. It will have to stay in the box and not get mounted with his medals and cap badge. Many thanks Frank |

I would mount it with his other badges even though he wasn't entitled to wear it. It obviously meant something to him as he kept it. People had large families in those days and it might have belonged to a family member or a good mate.

I agree, if it came with other items keep them together.
I have a early homemade LDV arm band that came with a 51st Highland Division patch. When I asked the person I got it from about the patch she said she didn't know why that patch was with the arm band as he never served in or had any association with the 51st she knew of. In any event, I am keeping them together. Terry |
