White metal REME

[REMEVMBEA1]

I have recwently acquired a couple of pre 1947 REME badges in white metal , does anyone have any evidence that these were worn , maybe by REME attached to RAC regiments?

I can find no evidence, but like you I believe the WM badge was worn by pers attached to RAC. (RAOC certainly had a WM badge worn as such). I asked at the REME museum a couple of years ago, and they did not know the answer, but it was an open day and no investigation was done. The answer may well be buried in their archives.

I was told by an old boy that the w/m REME badges were worn by a formation in North Africa in WW2 (possibly in support of an indiian formation but my memory fails me). Heresay but might warrent investigation.
