SNCO Patrol uniform insignia

[Insignia]

Hello Everyone,

I’m seeking help in tracking down references to the authorization and official description of the SNCO Patrol Uniform (1930’s to 1970’s) and its insignia.

Any information will be greatly received.

Best Wishes

Hello Ray,

Many thanks indeed for this.

I have to say I’ve not come across a set of 1953 dress regulations covering NCO and WO.

Kind Regards
