My RAAC Badges
Here's my Post 1960 Royal Australian Armoured Corps badge/patch collection. Mostly official issue but some unofficial ones as well.
I had to leave off some things like my 2/14th Light Horse (QMI) 2 piece band badge as the lugs were just too long (it was worn on a bandsman's white pith helmet!). I'm still missing the barracks patches for School of Armour, 1st Armoured Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Regiment and 2/14th Light Horse (QMI). Enjoy! Mick

Bloody hell Mick, If I had not already lost them I would give my eye teeth for a collection like that. Fantastic. Thanks for posting them, and I am now going back to them to drool over them again.
Cheers mate, john

Thanks guys!
I'm working on finding the missing patches - they are current issue ones so I will get them eventually. My next challenge is to get my 1948 to 1960 collection frame nicely. Some of the rarer ones here would be: The Medium Tank Trials unit patch 2/14th Light Horse black plastic unofficial bush badge (only 30 or so were made) 1/15th NSW Lancers 100 year anniversary badge Various unofficial bullion badges Mick

Hi, are these barrack badges? and if so where were they worn? The tank badges are the bullion and a trial badge approx. 1980's but not accepted. Mike

The RAAC cloth badge - possibly a sports patch worn on a tracksuit. The SOA patches - not sure about those. They are still sold in the Tank Museum shop at Puckapunyal. Maybe souvenir patches? The 2/14 LH black patch - possibly a sports patch worn on a tracksuit. The Second to None Patch - a 1st Armoured Regiment unofficial troop patch - 1990s. Worn on a brassard. Barracks patches are the current issue rectangular patches at bottom of board - they have velcro on the back. This is a good place to get them: http://colourpatch.com/shop/ Mick

Not sure about the 'B' patch. The 3/4 CAV one is possibly again an unofficial patch worn on a brassard. Mick
