Thanks Ron, I was hoping I could wear it below the upper arm insignia were a set if stripes would be worn, I have a 'moth' nip I wanted to cover, will post up some pictures. If not acceptable in this position Ron I will have to follow your advise.

Anyone know where I can buy british badges ? I want shoulder titles and the three red bars which I believe denote junior battalion, I looked at my grandad's kit online and he had them on his shoulders just whilst we are discussing badges

I want my BD kit to be RSF 5th Div.

Infact my KD kit will need to be RSF too !

Rich, have you picture if what you are looking for, I have been trawling the net recently and have come across a few good sights selling original titles.

My Fathers Dad was royal Artillery (centre picture in waist coat small oil can in hand). Has anyone a close up of what that cap badge would look like?.

Yours Grandfather appears to be serving in one of the Yeomanry Regiments converted to RA between the wars but retaining their own cap badge.

I assume it will be one of these featured on this site.

A badge in this position would designate an instructor and as no official badge exists for a Bren Gun Carrier Driver it would be totally wrong. You could make yourself a staff Sergeant and wear a crown there or perhaps crossed rifles for skill at arms instructor. There are other options.

Thanks Neil, I don't want to wear any rank I'm not entitled too, I will have to darn the hole and wear the bren gun carrier badge were Ron suggests, I will play it as its there until my drill sergeant spots it whilst on parade!!!, and tears me off a strip.
