Default Finally!

I've managed to get a Brown Beret of the type used by the Belgian-Luxembourg contingent during the Korean war.

The Belgian United Nations Command operated in Korea 1950-5.

All the best,

BP

I forgot to mention, the badge is the blackened silvered version produced in 1951. It has double lug fittings to the back.

This type was only issued to Sous-Officiers/Onderofficiers (that's NCO in English).

If only I could find out the name of the soldier who was issued it. Ho hum.
