Default Burma Star Association

Hi All,

One I have not seen discussed on the forum before, so thought I would share a recent buy. Worn on the beret, next to the regimental badge, by members of the Burma Star Association. I believe there is an anodised/new metal version too. I'm on the look out for those.

Cheers all,

Phil

I've seen these worn on a jungle/slouch hat by members of the association.

Thank you for all the information, gentlemen. Mike, would that be worn on headdresses too, please?

There are small brooch backed badges too.

Cheers

Phil

I seem to recall reading somewhere that The Burma Star Association was closing down as there were so few members left now due to age and old Soldiers fading away.

I think this is a car windscreen sticker but not 100% sure.

P.B.
