Default Q Service Corps

Hi guys

I am putting together a memorial to my grandpa who served in the South African army 1940 - 1943. I am looking for a set of Captains epaulettes (the ones with the orange tabs at the end) and a set of bi-metal officer collar badges for Q Service Corps.

I have his records and they clearly state that he was in QSC, but all the pictures I see of him show him with the UDF badges (springbok in the circle). Does anyone know of any reason why he didnt wear the correct badges?

Also, are there any suggestions on what else to include. I have his 1 SAI divisional patch, his 8th Army tie, his whistle, medals, a photo in uniform, his various badges and buttons. Anything that I might not be thinking of?

thanks
Jan
