Arm band identification

[mjw]

Would any Forum member be able to identify these two armbands? I wonder if they might relate to the Military Police?

Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Kind regards, Malcolm.

I have just found a stamp on the "Q" armband which states:
N. GIRMA JEE RAO & SONS TAILOR & CLOTH MERCHANTS BANGALORE

Hi Malcolm, the first one (Red/black/red) is for British Officers with Command HQ (Home). Now the letter I think is a "C"? If so, it is for Assistant Chaplain General. But if it is a "G" then it is for the General Staff branch.

The Q armband I have not seen before and a quick look in my reference book sheds no light on this one.

Cheers, Ade.

Hello Ade,

Thank you for the reply. The letter on the first armband has a "tail" that is deliberately sewn and not loose threads hanging. However, I agree that it appears to be more like a "C" than a "G".

Kind regards, Malcolm.

"G" it is then I could not make up my mind.

Cheers, Ade.

Ade, thank you for your help.

Anyone have an idea of what the other might be?

Kind regards, Malcolm.
