Paul R Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I have always wondered why they did not have the numbered plaques for these like the Panzer and GAB brothers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I have always wondered why they did not have the numbered plaques for these like the Panzer and GAB brothers?HelloA good question, and one to which I don't know the answer. Part of the answer may lie in the speculative story that the IAB was originally devised in 1938 as an Army marksmanship badge. If that was the case, despite the award criteria in WW2 of taking part in three assualts on three seperate days using only hand held weapons, it may account for the lack of numbered versions. But this is pure speculation based on rumour rather than fact. Maybe some other members can shed more light on this on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
