      Hi Maria,

      The Royal Naval Patrol Service earnt its own unique badge. This was awarded to the men of the minesweepers and anti-submarine trawlers in recognition of their service on these vessels. It was exclusive the Royal Naval Patrol Service and could not be worn by other Royal Navy personnel. It was only awarded after six months service at sea, so land-based sailors could not get it.
      It is a small badge (the size of a £1 coin) worn on the lower left sleeve, 4 inches above the cuff.

  • We have recently found my Grandfather's Royal Navy records. I believe I have found a picture online of what the first award would have looked like but I have not had much luck with the second. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction please of what the badge - A.F.O would look like?
    Many Thanks
