Airborne Chaplain's Badges
I thought I would post this badge I purchased awhile ago. Any more official or unofficial variations out there?

Here is the back. It does not look cut down but I could be missing something.

When researching an article on the RAChD for Militaria magazine, we learned that the reason for the unofficial CHAPLAIN title was that the Chaplains wanted to be readily recognisable as such when wearing BD - it was felt that may soldiers would not know the expansion of RAChD. Here's the estimable Chaplain of the SRY in Normandy - he took it upon himself to extract the bodies of the dead of his regiment from their tanks, believing it was not something that should be undertaken by the other crews.

Thank you for your contriburions to this thread. Here are some loops that I bought about 10 years ago. I did not know what they were when I bought them. Now I believe they are for the Chaplains service. They like old and they have been worn (note the lint), and are constructed like the yellow ones used by 1 CANPARA. I have not seen pictures of these these in wear. Thoughts??
