    British 1940 pattern Greatcoat issued post war to the Belgian Army. I cannot quite make out the manufacture date?

    Cheers, Ade.

    Hello,

    I am sorry to dig out this topic, I just register to answer the question initialy posed :

    It seems indeed to be the patch of belgian occupation forces in germany.

    I ran across this patch some times and you will find it in a google search with the acronym of "Force Belges en Allemagne", FBA in french ("Belgian forces in Germany"), and "Belgische Strijdkrachten in Duitsland", BSD in dutch.

    You can find it here eventualy :

    Hope I helped and wish you good health !
