Unknown arm patch
I've attached a picture of my late Mother in Law in what I believe to be her NAAFI uniform during WW2, on her arm is a diamond patch that I believe may be a mourning patch as her brother was KIA at Alamein but I'm unsure if that's what it is.
I know it's not strictly a military question but I can't seem to find any information anywhere else as to what it might be. Martin. |

I think there is a design on the badge.
Edit - although the badge in the photo doesn't appear to have a white design a quick Google shows a blue diamond with a white embroidered NAAFI badge being sold as a NAAFI overalls badge. https://www.the-saleroom.com/zh-cn/a...9-a7be00e2f038 The site of a company producing insignia for reenactors shows a version in red on beige.

Thank you for that Leigh and yes it looks like there is a design on it but the more I enlarge it the more indistinct it becomes, it looks like it might be a clover leaf or a fleur-de-lis.

Further to my previous post I've just looked at the original photo with a strong magnifying lens and can't see any sort of design on the patch so I can only assume the scanning must have created it.

As far as I know no arm badges were worn on the NAAFI khaki uniform and I would agree that the diamond is a mourning patch.

I think I can see two bells tied with a bow on the diamond, why it would be there I don’t know

The original shows nothing, maybe the scanner picked something up?
