Surveyor Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have just bought some bits and pieces for the 9x9 tent, they have unit markings on them and I wonder if anyone can help in identifying them, I suspect that anything saying "b Coy" or similar is not any help. The paper I think has the unit crest mirrored, which I think strange. All keep safe in these times Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10FM68 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) The centaur with VII underneath may be 7 Air Defence Group RA. Years ago it would have been the insignia of 7th AGRA, but that was disbanded well before that piece of paper was printed. Why the badge of the Coldstream Guards (reversed) is on there as well, though, is mysterious. 125 Field Company, may be a REME sub-unit. F Company should be Scots Guards - with the RLC (Logistic with no "s") AOS sign having been added by the RLC cooks, perhaps, and B Company - well could be anything, as you say - most non-mounted units will have a B company of some sort. But, sadly, I'm not certain of any of them - others may be able to give more certain answers. 10 68 Edited April 2, 2020 by 10FM68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Gents thanks for the answers I was curios why the image was reversed the paper was in the oven for a MK 5 stove, I have no idea and need to lokk when they came in and out of service Having looked again at the crown that's for a male monarch not a female, so that may mean before 1952 I think, would that be normal?

I was thinking of the badge on my beret and that is different from the one on the paper but I always stand to be corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I'm sure that is the English crown, normally seen as British. The other common one is the Scottish crown which is a lot flatter, and found on things like Telephone Boxes ( remember them? ) in Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look at cap badges pre and post Coronation (1952). See attached... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yup memory playing up, got to dig out beret for a function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks Richard, learned something new there. The Scottish crown, found on Letter Boxes and Telephone Boxes north of the border, is different again.

Minesweeper Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Int Corps Cap Badges issued to National Servicemen in 1959 still had a King's Crown on it - obviously still using up old stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
