Kangaroo cap badge on eBay

[Bill Miller]

Clive,

The centre badge is indeed a right collar badge. As for Sgt. badges, I have a photo supplied to me by Ed Sawchuck of BSquad, troop 9. It shows a Sgt. (I do not know his name) wearing what looks to be a 1/2 size badge on the stripes of his right sleeve. Pic attached.

From the shape, and the resolution is really indistinct , but it could actually be a right facing collar badge? I have heard it said that they were used for that purpose but have no evidence other than this photo. The collar badge in my earlier post is in Chris Brooker's collection, I have never seen one in person and never seen one or a pair offered for sale (yet).

Mark, thanks for posting that drawing, I have never seen that before. Are there anymore drawings from Gaunt or is that it? It is interesting that the modelling of the kangaroo's head more closely resembles the collar badge than the actual Cap badge.

Bill.
