Re: WW2 Australian Service Tunic
Nice pickup Jase! Was your wifes grandad taken P.O.W. In Greece or Crete? I know the 2/11th were at Heraklion on Crete because the 2/4th were also there and one of my uncles was taken P.O.W. There. Lots of the 2/11th and 2/4th boys took to the scrub and carried on the fight joining the Local partisans as a guerilla army. What is the colour patch of the 2/11th mate?

Thanks Dave, just reading through his documents, as they have been scanned in from the national archives. He was reported missing on the 2/6/41 in Greece and then a month after was listed as a POW from the red cross, so looks like he never made it onto Crete. Colour patch is Brown over light blue.
Looks like I am gonna start looking for a slouch hat now to Dave!

Jase, I have a bunch of original colour patches in a drawer here somewhere, I've got this sneaking suspicion that one of them at least is 2/11th, I'll have a look in a bit, if I can find them and I'm right you can have them. I'll search around in an hour or so, you know where I am now! Lol

Re: WW2 Australian Service Tunic
I have an idea as to where to find a slouch hat.....an original colour patch on the pugaree would look good!!

Re: WW2 Australian Service Tunic
Many thanks Dave, I would love as much original stuff as I can. I am still in the same place, just did the mothers day gift thing,lol.
Would love any info Tony. I agree an original on a pugaree would be great
Thanks
