This arrangement is seen in some early wartime photographs. I have also seen the same with the non-arced Poland title over the RAF eagle. I can't say for certain and will need to defer to PAF...

Hi James, I can't help with the date of this one, but the non-arced Poland titles were worn beneath the RAF Eagle shoulder flash in the manner pictured below by all ranks below Warrant Officers. ...

Hello Jerry,

Thanks for your kind words. The slip ons would not be Polish as the regulation location for the honourary 8th Army shield was on the right shoulder below the Poland title.

Andrzej wins the prize cool militaria. That blue stripe on the collar pennons is not always easy to spot.

As to Chris’s quiz question, I’ll leave it for one of the members to answer . . . :)

Nice little grouping Chris.

Fun quiz for you (or anyone else that wants to jump in): assuming they all originated together, which regiment were these items from? :)

Cheers,

Hi Chris, thanks for your kind words and posting two more examples. But, special thanks for posting that period photo. The insignia definitely does appears to be plastic, and very similar if not...

As promised, several more. Does anyone have any period photos showing uniform mounted 2WDP metal insignia?:

Cheers,

I’ll contribute this unusual variant of the PSZ volunteer insignia, previously posted in the Polish Military Mission in Canada during WW2 thread. It was among the items that belonged to Lt. Ludwik...
