Women's Royal Army Corps Lanyard

[grey_green_acorn]

Lanyards worn by the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) have been discussed previously on the Forum.

Material Regulations Volume Pamphlet 15 list authorised lanyards for the WRAC as follows:

1954 - WRAC - Dark Green and Beech Brown (i.e. not the ATS colours)
1966 - as above with a note that 'personnel of WRAC may wear lanyard of employing arm in lieu'
1975 - as above
1977 - as above
1980 - nothing listed against WRAC

In my time from 1969 I cannot recall ever seeing WRAC personnel wearing any lanyard - possibly because the Lovat Green No2 Dress was without pockets so nowhere to 'tuck in' the end of the lanyard! Also, but never say never, I have not seen a dark green and beech brown lanyard.

Until now! I acquired three examples at Chatham last Sunday.

200+ lanyards from my collection in my album: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...p?albumid=2027

Have a word with grey-green-acorn and see if he would make you a "friend" which would then give you access.
