Australian/NZ cloth shoulder titles

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Gary, this title did not exist during the war. The unit was not formed until December 1948.

Cheers, Ade.

These patches are for 2/3rd Anti Tank Regt, 'T' shape for service with the 9th Div 2AIF at the 1st siege of Tobruk 1941.

As Luke has stated your examples are all post WW2.
This is what Australian WW2 unit insignia looked like.

Two 2/13th Battalion repo's.
The square represents pre Tobruk 1941 (not full size),the T post Tobruk 1941.



These images give an indication of the configeration and placement of Australian WW2 insignia.
The Photo is of my Grandfather, Kenneth Maxwell Ackerly TX 14451.

I want to thank all of yopu who commented on my questions. I have certainly learned a lot over the past few days and now have a better understanding of Austrailian WW II regimental insignia. Now my hunt for period correct pieces for my Lithow SMLE display can begin.

Cheers,

Gary
