hello guys, can anyone help me identify this flash? ......on left shoulder (its a 1949 pattern type) ......also does the name look Polish? many thanks in advance for any help Andy
The Black Arm of Service stripe, 'TRF' is the Northamptonshire Regiment. Looks like Greek writing to me...There are some Polish members who will be able to confirm if its Polish though. Cheers Andy
Andy pants - the writing looks very Greek - the black stripe is a bit high for a British unit as the service stripe is usually between the epaulette and elbow - the stitching is tacky and no CSM would put up with that - he would be on jankers unless he fixed that - or had a girl friend stitch it up for him - so - I don't think it's British ! Cheers
It would be Greek after the war we supplied a lot of kit to the Greeks during their internal struggle and with the communists also weapons. Unsure if details correct but some foreign troops also fought in British Battledress as advisiors to Royal Hellanic Army.
