I still can't think what this unit is.

What's the American Vietnam War era "lHC-1 SAR" unit?

Would there have been a

1st Bn

V-olunteer

A-mbulance

from "HC" ?

H-igh C-ross, or some other British place name?

Hi

Your formation sign is cloth version of a brass Home Guard item 'Ist Bn Vickers Armstrong Company'

Both items can be seen in Jon Mills & Terry Carney's 'In The Space of A Single Day'.
