Hi folks

I was told this was British Military Welfare Service but have never seen any reference to it does any one have any thoughts?

Maybe something Watchman Service?

Sean, I thought it was "British Mixed Watchman Service" but I saw the attached collection at the weekend and it was labelled as "Berlin Mixed Watchman Service" top right hand side.
This collection made me very envious.... If you want to pass it on........

Thanks for your help...as always.

Sean,

Thanks for the plug for the FS but I was misinformed as the next FS will reveal.

It was actually worn by the Berlin Military Welfare Service which supported the British Troops stationed there, its colours reflecting the red and black sign they wore.

We all live and learn.
