Staff officer brassard army corps HQ

[Jerry B]

Picked this yesterday, a lovely item, but is it WWI or WWII.

The great war forum has a long thread on brassards, armlets etc and has this type as STAFF OFFICER ARMY CORPS HQ Ordnance, whilst BL Davis has it as Officers holding Appointments at HQ ANTI-AIRCRAFT CORPS Ordnance Service.

From this I assume that very similar armbands were worn in both wars for similar functions, but which one is this, WWI or WWII?

Poppers are Newey B'ham LTD. Of note, it has a second set of poppers which I think were to attach it to the sleeve to stop it falling down in wear.

Hi Jerry
In my experience I would say WW2 most definitely. Do you collect armbands

Thanks Fred.

I do not as such collect armbands, it was something I encountered whilst browsing.
