    Nice. I particularly like the subtle variations of the 'pregnant kangaroo'.

    That sort of comment would have started a fight 60 or so years back!

    Thanks Martin

    Ha! Ha! I had read somewhere that the 1944 pattern jerboa was referred to as a 'pregant kangaroo' by the troops but by that time, they'd all been produced and it was too late to do anything about it.

    Hi Martin,

    it is true, the design was not liked but the War department refused to pay to have more made as they had had a lot produced and they were referred to by others as looking like a pregnant Kangaroo, much to the chargrin of those who wore them, though eventually they were worn with pride.

    While not the most martial of things, I rather like the ACC shoulder title. Unsung heroes.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Indeed Ade, an army marches on its stomach.

    3 new arrivals, with the top one being a fairly modern issue I think, but the others from WWII or not long after.

    Default Lancashire Fusiliers cloth shoulder titles

    These are something I have never really paid close attention to beyond generally being able to tell the difference between fakes and originals.

    However, I currently have a need to do more than that.

    I have two pairs of Lancashire Fusiliers titles that are markedly different in dimensions. I know this usually comes down to period but I don't know how that translates into the actual periods of use.

    Can someone please advise me to which periods these types belong ?

    I think the longer type is the older but I need to know which is appropriate to the early '50s.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Regards

    Mark
