4th pattern Rising Sun badge - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Hi Guys,

Here is another that I managed to pick up.
Unfortunately I don't have a pair, just a single one.
The maker is Stokes, and that is about all I know, so any additional info would of course be much appreciated.
I am guessing due to the bright appearance of this one, that it would be for parade or similar use, I know I wouldn't want to be wearing a bright badge in combat.

Cheers,
Brad.

This pattern Rising Sun was worn by troops who went to Korea.

Cool, thanks for the info guys. Speaking of Korea, as I am typing this, I am also watching MASH (my fave TV program), sometimes makes me laugh, sometimes make me cry.
