    New 57 Arrivals - Infantry Assault Badge


    Recommended Posts

    I have always wondered why they did not have the numbered plaques for these like the Panzer and GAB brothers?

    Hello

    A 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 ?
