Old Grumpy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is the square bright red or is it brownish-red?. Pete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

79x100 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 '67' on red doesn't appear on any wartime schedule that I can find. '67' on brown or black does, but without a formation sign (and motorcycles didn't officially display them after 1941) it is impossible to pin down. If it's shiny then the odd are that a private owner applied it and quite possibly made an error....or maybe based it on what an old soldier said.

79x100 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't have a copy of the 1941 booklet...Only the 'Home Forces' lists and that doesn't mention Armoured Divisions which is odd. Wally, do you have any ACIs relating to BEF markings...especially the later arrivals ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 To be honest l do not know what l have when l put most of what l collected over the years in to storage. Time was short for a full cataloguing of all of it even now l find things that l had long forgotten about like all the documents on the JAB and gutty what you asked about may be left here or may be in storage wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
