fesm_ndt Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 These are around circa 1957, Sussex area.

Enigma Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Something I notice. They wear their beret emblems above their noses instead of above the left eye. Any significance in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never noticed that but yep your right, I'll have to ask him. I think in the champ shot he was saying they wore the poppy behind their badge. I also noticed the grille and wheel nuts where painted white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 They appear to be Royal Army Service Corps cap badges, but the Bedford QL has a tac sign* in a dark colour with "IC" over it. This is possibly Intelligence Centre, as Maresfield Camp in East Sussex was home of the Intelligence Corps in the Fifties, before later moving to Ashford. * sign would have been black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would call the Bedford a TCV (Troop Carrying Vehicle). One of the other guys at work at the UK head office was a driver of armoured vehicles in Borneo and Aden. He was saying how he had one blown up by a mine under him. Apparently he has some interesting photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
