In the booklet printed by the Printing and stationary service, 21st, Army Group there are 88 pages of vehicle formation signs, so they must all be recognised as " official" badges. John.

When was the book published? You can get this from the imprint information on the manual.
Sure the signage was 'recongnized', but this does not necessarily mean they were ever used. Don't ge tme wrong, the book and the images are very interesting, the next step in the process is finding an image of them in use. |

Any ideas as to which unit this is ? Pontonbrugcutout.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...brugcutout.jpg Marc Last edited by Hanno Spoelstra; 26-01-21 at 14:13.

The original poster of this thread, Blackpowder44 aka John Forsey, also posted on The British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum. John asked another member of that forum to scan and post the images from this book on there. Here is the front and back cover:
