Wood Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 The only thing I can tell you is that he didn't jump into combat, otherwise the eagle would be holding a wreath. Here is mine presented to an R.A.F. Flight Sergeant. I have always assumed that he was something to do with parachute training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh kitchen Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yes, I'd assume RAF personnel involved in training Polish paras - awarded May 1945, a couple of weeks after Vctory in Europe. The pennant - an ex-servicemens one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris D Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Inside. By the way I havn't a clue what it says! Hi, The Legitymacja indicates that flight sergant Aldridge was awarded the plain parachutist badge, the blank side opposite is for the award of the combat parachutist badge.
