Hi All, I have had a family enquiry about a RASC Driver and his possible Chindit connections. One of the photos shows a Pith Helmet (see below) with a very distinctive insignia. Does anyone recognise it? The clues I have are that he served in North Africa early in the war, before moving across to India, possibly Burma in 1943-1944. There is also a mention of 419 Company, RASC. Any help gratefully received. Many thanks Steve
Hi, You could try asking here http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/index.php There are a lot of cloth insignia collectors on the forum. Regards Danny
