    And some "Combatente" ex-guerillas still livng along military lines, based at Mataduro Barracks, Dili, patches, hand sewn on coffee sacking

    Very interesting topic. Those handmade patches are great!! Are you saying that they are currently in use?

    I would imagine so, these ones were certainly being used in 2003 / 2004, members of the group, which wore military uniform oddments such as berets & camo smocks would go out in teams & recruit in the jungle / mountain districts, charging new members $1 - $2 ( a lot of money to people living on nothing or a couple of dollars a day) & issue one of these patches.
