Once again - Superb. The RTR soldier in BD is excellently badged. At this time the wartime sign of 79 Armd Div was worn by the Specialised Armour Training Establishment RAC - an organisation keeping the wartime skills alive. The cloth RAC badge - introduced to encourage the Cavalry and RTR to believe they were all one happy RAC family was introduced in Aug 47 and became obsolete on 1 Jan 54. It was, it is said, only worn under duress!
The infantry - a fighting patrol perhaps - have got a splendid range of clothing and equipment and a mixture of 37 and 44 Pattern webbing. The early pattern Jerseys Wool Heavy are much in evidence. The lone sentry in the Gloucesters seems rather formally dressed for his role and the environment!
