Many thanks for showing the photograph and also for the enhanced image. I can now see were my large Hawke formation sign fits in. It is interesting also to see a Leading Hand with collar badges. He may also have cloth HAWKE epaulettes. Any idea what the arm band on his left wrist represents?

I assumed it was a GC stripe and a wound stripe: possibly adorned with a coloured backing.

Hello there
What a great photo, and thanks to the OP for posting. Regarding the arm band, they were introduced late in the war to show soldiers job within the battalion, Red-runners, blue-signals, carring party-yellow, sniper/scout-green. William |
