Netherlands patch
Another I need an ID on. I know it's Netherlands, but can't work out the 11 PALUABT acronym. Judging by the propeller and cannon, it's probably an anti aircraft artillery unit, and the number 11 could refer to the 11th Airmobile Brigade of the Netherlands Army.
I have also been told that these square patches are breast badges. Is that correct? If so, on which side of the jacket are they worn? Thanks for any information.

Hi Voltigeur and Mike,
Many thanks for the translation, and for the two links - to the Netherlands Artillery and to 41 PALUABT on Utube. All most useful. I don't speak Dutch but can understand some words as I have a knowledge of German and there are similarities in some words. What are the words that make up the acronym PALUABT, for future reference? I see that there are other similar units, presumably for the other Brigades. Thanks again for your help, Fred

Fred, it seems that PALUABT is an acronym for Pantserluchtafweerbatterij.

Hi Jo,
Thanks for the Dutch description. I like to put the name in the original language alongside the English translation, if I can, so that if similar items come up, it gives me a possible start point in finding the identification. I appreciate your help on this. Fred
