The badge below was with my dads possessions, he served in the Royal Ordnance at Didcot. I am trying to find out which company this badge is for? Dads Shoulder Badge.jpg - Windows Live
According to Cole (and he's usually pretty good), the badge is from the 'North Western Army' (India) and is a castle gateway symbolic of the North-Western gateway of India, the Khyber Pass...So quite a long way from Didcot ! Did he have an India connection ?
In the early part of 1945 he was sent out to India, I suppose with the Royal Ordnance. Does the badge just signify that you were posted with your company in India?
Any idea where I can find out why they where sent to the Khyber Pass in 1945 Send off for his Service Records. That should tell you exactly who he was with & then you can look for war diaries etc. Ministry of Defence | Contact us | Service Records Enquiries
