Looking to ID - 4LB/SAA metal title - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone is able to ID this badge and advise when it was worn?

I'm guessing 4th Light Battery, South Africa Artillery?

Can anyone confirm this?

Regards,

Mick

Nice title. Unfortunately I cannot confirm or deny as I have never seen an SAA title like it before, but your guess is plausible.

I couldn't find it either in the Colin Own's African badges book.

Probably 4th Light Brigade, SAA, which was in camp at Potchefrstoom in mid to late 1940.

I'm not sure whether it became the later 4th Field Brigade or was absorbed into Transvaal Horse Artillery or somebody else.

Thanks mate! That would make sense to me.
