Badge on WW2 Army documents case.
A friend has a documents case with a painted 'DZ' type badge - green/red/green
The only officer I can find of the same name as on the case, Col McFadden is Dr & Col J McFadden who served 1918-46. Has anyone an inkling as to colours meaning? Have I the right man?, our Army Lists are limited but the only 2 McFadden's I see are J & (J R in Cammeronians). |

From the original document:
"The colours denoting figures are as follows: (1) Red. bright. Q.D. (2) Blue. Q.D. (3) Yellow, Ammn. (4) Green. Light. Q.D. (5) Grey. Ammn. (6) Buff. Q.D. (7) Red. oxide of iron. Q.D. (8) Deep bronze green (9) White lead Q.D. (10) Brown.dark. Q.D." Comment. I assume QD is quick drying and that Ammn is Ammunition |

I regret that I could not trace unit serial 29618. The closest I can get is 29613 which was 4th Bn Grenadier Guards in 6 Guards Tank Brigade 1944.

That's excellent Tim. We can always rely on the Grey/Green! I'm about to become the possessor of a horde of WW2 photos and documents relating to and the property of a SNCO who served in FSS in PAIFORCE and Nigeria. It will eventually be passed to the Archives at Chicksands. Mike
