6th SA Armoured Division Anti Aircraft Signs

[loupie1961]

A recent purchase: a set of embroidered Anti Aircraft Artillery signs and orange tabes. Unluckily it looks like they have not been sewn to any sort of epaulette or slip on, and I am wondering how would they: at the same place of the divisional yellow-green triangle, by chance? Thank you for your expertise, gentlemen!

These were worn by SAAF (gunners) and WAAF (search light operators) Anti-Aircraft units. Not sure whether they were worn outside of the Union of South Africa though.

Hi Loupie

I have posted a picture or two on here somewhere of these being worn by a chap in the 6th Armoured Div, just cannot find the picture but will keep trying.

So that's the way one would have worn the AA titles in the 6th SAAD. Many thanks!
