Default Royal Pioneer Corps and it's pre life

I have received a selection of RPC items won on the "bay" so can you help with the order of the metal shoulder titles should be in:-

LC - AMPC - PC - RPC(metal) - RPC(anod)
The last 2 I can guess at...
Thanks,
Jerry

Sean: a nice selection of Pioneer badges etc!

I am putting together a feature of Pioneer Collectables in our Pioneer Association newsletter. Only WW1 for this issue, but WW2 onwards in the next.

Will publish it here when it has gone to print. Interesting to see some of your badges etc here. A few areas that you are missing etc, such as formation badges and also labour corps collar badge etc etc. Also the famous Pioneer Red and Green flash for WW2 and worn again by 23 Pioneer Regiment (disbd).

Speak soon, Paul
