Blue Patrol Uniform
I needed to know a bit more about "Blue patrols" so I bought these, quite a clear crown mark on the epaulettes, and there may have been collar badges sewn on?, Major Steel perhaps?
The hat is fitted with a nice other ranks slidered Devonshire Regiment cap badge but I doubt its always been there? Is there any significance to the red piping? Is it Officers or Other Ranks? Rob |

Couldn't find a (Major) Steel in the Devon Regt, but those ribbons could be those of someone captured at Dunkirk.

I should have said I bought the hat and jacket from the same seller but hat jacket and badge could easily have come from 3 different places?

There appears to be a Defence medal ribbon in the centre.

More likely served at Dunkirk, made it back home and remained in the UK for the rest of the war.

I hadn't noticed the medals to be in the wrong order, maybe a Major could get away with something like that for a short while?
I notice sapper533 has a couple of similar hats in his album, does that make this similar coloured example Royal Engineers too? Rob https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...id=3315&page=3 |
