This is the article Leigh refers to - I hope Peter does not object to reproduction here. My guess is that the last two items were added to the article as a more general observation, although I acknowledge reference to 'Polish' in narrative for 10.

ALSO

Having gone through some notes from Len Whittaker, he mentioned a printed Chindit sign has been illustrated in wear - it is found here in 'Special Force' by Jesse Shaw - and is a picture of Jesse. It certainly looks printed. Len felt it was shown worn on the wrong arm, he suggested it was only worn on the Right arm. I have not studied sufficient images to comment, but share the views of Len that on the left arm it faces backwards.

Any thoughts welcome

Mike

I'm not quite sure why Peter Taylor thinks badge # 10 and 11 are Polish style?

Anyway, happy to hear Peter thinks the wings are a very rare piece as I happen to own one.

An interesting thread.

I don't like the printed chindit of Peter Taylor, but the image isn't clear, maybe it looks and feels better in the hand.

Perhaps best to ask first!
Although, it is a Crown Imperial article so no issues with his own publisher.

Frank - fair point.

Keith - Thanks to Simon for kicking it off, and Len whose notes are a great legacy.
