Gordon Williamson Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 For anyone interested in the RAD, here are some photos from the album of a U-Boat officer who had served in the old FAD then the RAD.In no particular order.
Scowen Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Nice set of pictures Gordon. Even better to see the Anhalt (AAD) badge in the first shot.CheersDon
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Just a little off topic (not really), but does anyone have a photo of other RAD armbands in wear? I'm thinking of the ones with the eagle logo that have been heavily faked. I just occurred to me I have never seen a period photo of one, and not knowing my RAD as well as I should, wondered if they are fantasy.
Scowen Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I've never seen a picture showing one in wear......CheersDon
Bob Coleman Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) I do know the armbands are period as I obtained several from vets back in the 60's. As the standard political armband was worn on the uniform, I would presume the eagle format armband was for wear with civilian clothing. I also have never seen a photo of this armband being worn.
