Carpathian Rifle Brigade

[leigh kitchen]

An excuse to wheel out a couple of my old scans again - two insignia, but bearing the same serial number:

I believe that there were 4550 of the breast badges awarded (not counting duplicates as here?).

Thanks Leigh for showing these, I appreciate the fact you took the time to post.

Hi guys,
I've found this film on youtube accidentally: YouTube - Amazing Grace . Pause at 1:15. There's a bagpiper with a Polish flag displaying the SBSK Tobruk badge. He might be somehow connected with the Rats of Tobruk Association or there's somewhere an Aussie or a British unit carrying on the Carpathian Rifle Brigade tradition...
I hope you don't mind me submiting this post here but it's more or less related to this thread...

Regards,
Tom

Hi
Just to add to the info provided above

According the monumental book – 3DSK (3 Carpathian Division) by Mlotek
Mr Jakub Switalski was a lieutenant and actually earned KW twice.
I think, it is probable that the second KW was awarder for MC Battle as the 1 Battalion was heavily involved in it.

Thanks for the link GFC, will have a good look at it. Wishing you and all members a great 2011.
Cheers
Jo
