ChrisB Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Bit of a mystery badge. I am fairly sure it's a commonwealth patch but really have no idea. Would like to know what it is so if someone can identify it I would really appreciate it.CheersChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Thanks very much for that Arthur. Funnily enough I had a feeling this was an Indian army patch. Do you not what period this patch would be from? Is it post WW2?Cheers again.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Hi Chris,H Cole's 'Formation Badges of WWII': Sign was adopted in August 1942. Originally designated Madras District, in November 1942, renamed for security reason, 105 L of C Area. On 1st April 1946, it assumed the title Madras Area.Hope this helps.Regards Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
