Markgraf Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thank You! It is possible, that the owner fought in Italy? An 1939-45 Star, Africa Star, Italy Star ribbon bar was in the pocket, but I'm not sure that the ribbon bar was the part of the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I would say maybe!!, the shoulder tab appears to be hand made or theatre made so could be Italian and that formation badge was for the UK only so if the person came back to the UK after serving in Italy from May 1945What is the date on the tunic?

leigh kitchen Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Can't remember - which version of the patch is this with 8 stripes - there was a version with 6 stripes which would have preceding this one?First pattern was a green apple on blue diamond wasn't it?
