More likely to be "Punjab Police Service" rather than Pakistan.

ACLD would have thought if it is Chaplain and obviously a special order that they would have purple on tartan, just a thought??

"More likely to be "Punjab Police Service" rather than Pakistan." That seems likely to me, as the Indian Police did use the five pointed star in their badges and rank insignia.

Many thanks Peter & Dave, now to be filed in my Police badge drawer unless there are any buyers out there?
Many thanks

The BAOR title could be a late 1940s item worn wholly unofficially by, for example, National Servicemen on terminal leave prior to demob having spent their service in Germany. Similarly unofficial titles proliferated circa late 1945 such as INDIA COMMAND, SEAC, FARELF and even I think SEAAF. Mike

Duplicated

Many thanks Mike hadn't considered that, I have a number of SEAC and Farelf titles but BAOR never crossed my mind
Cheers
