Hi Mike,

The left one is actually worn by 4/19 PWLH.

Both are unofficial patches worn only on brassards or flying suits. Worn only out bush on exercise. You generally won't see them being worn on a parade ground or in barracks.

Interested in trading the SAMR patch?

Mick

Hi Mick, thanks for reply. Unfortunately as you know I collect armour so it stays in my collection. If I'm lucky enough to get another one you're more than welcome. Thanks again, Mike

Thanks mate - if the JPG file is about 1MB in size that should do nicely

What other troop patches do you have? Could you perhaps send me pictures of any others that you might have?

I think they will go a long way towards helping to document the insignia worn by the RAAC.
