    Default XXX Corps Souvenir Of Belgium Handkerchief

    Hi all. I found this handkerchief today. I have seen similar before. It is a cheaply made souvenir with the lettering and flags painted on by the looks of it. Likely made in a hurry to sell to liberating allied soldiers. I am after opinions on the boar on the opposite corner. It is inked on and to me it appears to be almost identical to British XXX Corps insignia. Whether this was done by a soldier or by a Belgian civilian I don't know, but I can't see another reason for a boar silhouette to be there. Any opinions would be welcome. Cheers.

    30 corps for sure, no doubt targeted at them as they liberated this area and served there straight after WWII.

    We do have or had a Belgian regiment using the boar as well, but they usualy only use the head.
