Just published, the latest edition of
The Formation Sign, the journal of the Military Heraldry Society details the award of the Commando dagger to two RAF officers, an early RAMC arm badge, some unusual Home Guard insignia, details of German Marine Dienstgruppe badges and the first issue of Malaya Command’s kris badge, two unusually badged battle dress blouses, a brief history of the RAC’s Boys Squadron, the history of 64 Signal Regiment’s Glossop title and some rare cloth items worn by women serving in India in the Second World War. The issue is completed by some new modern British Army badges and the usual selection of unidentified items.
The journal is only available to members - who can now also buy copies of John Waring's long out of print cloth badge identification pamphlets - sample page attached -an unrivalled source of information on British cloth badges. A reprint of Volume 2 which covers amongst other things World War One cloth badges is in preparation.
