Mervyn Mitton Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Had a nice old chap come-in last week.- he is a former Rhodie and had these items from when he lived there. Firstly some UDI badges - nicely mounted to hang in a study. ------------------------------------------------http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2012/post-6209-0-38907300-1340978927.jpgCLICK TO ENLARGE------------------------------------------------ Right column : Signals ; Southern Rhodesia Artilery ; Engineers ; Medical ; Pay Corps.

rhodesianmilitaria Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 SAS shoulder flash009.JPGCLICK TO ENLARGE Sorry this is not a RhSAS para wing it's a British army para wing.
peter monahan Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Don't disbelieve you for a minute, but could you explain the differences, please? What I like best about this forum, besides Chris' beer photos, is the sharing of info. by many many members, each expert in his or her own field.

Hi, definately a para wing and not an SAS one, best Chris
rhodesianmilitaria Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Lots of differences. I had a lot of info about them on my website but last week I shut my site down after 7 years. Two examples below, both worn after 1970. Second photo shows two different variations of the RhSAS para wings for the camo (combat) uniform. Edited July 31, 2013 by rhodesianmilitaria
