Jedburgh Force French insignia

[badjez]

Visited Paris over the weekend and wnt to the Musee L'Armee in Hotel des Invalides. It must rate as one of the best military museums in the world. I attach a photo taken of some insignia affixed to a Denison smock, labelled as having been worn by a French Jedburgh Force offficer.

The beret badge appears to be a WM British Parachute Regt cap badge with the King's crown removed.

The parachute qualification wings have the Fighting Free French Cross of Loraigne.

The right arm badge is a wing with 'SF' in the centre.

The photos were taken through glass so are not the best focussed.
Thought somebody might be interested anyway. Stephen.

Nice Free French wing - looks like the version they got made when France was liberated.

I have some items will post in a folder.
