WRAC YouTube Video
Found this video on YouTube about the WRAC (no sound), and am curious about the formation patch and breast badge they are wearing. Can anyone tell?

The main Formation Badge is Western Command, not sure of the other one, yet.

Interesting seeing the kings own cap badge appeared to have an oblong red backing, cut to the outer edge of the badge. (The lads on the Vickers gun).
And the East Lancs chaps with the square diamond 'primrose' yellow backing. Last edited by bess55; 12-05-20 at 08:45 AM.

The film might be a compilation of clips taken over a period of time. If made in 1960 the presence of East Lancashire Regiment and King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment cap badges would indicate soldiers from Territorial Army Battalions, possibly at annual camp. Likewise the older vehicles and Austin Champs without Tac Signs might be from a reserve.

The WRAC Cpl who appears around 19 seconds into the film is wearing the sign of the RASC's 22nd (Southport) Corps Troop Column.

Confirms my view in Post 8 that they are Territorial Army.
