high wood Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Can anyone identify this unit patch worn on the arm of a Royal Army Medical Corps soldier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krithia Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Ummm, "G" for Guards Division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high wood Posted 11 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Is that a guess or confirmation? I thought that the Guards Division patch had an eye in it. The photograph was taken in March 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovetown Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 A confirmation. IIRC, only worn by Corps troops and not infantry. Below is a Brodie from 75th Bde, RFA, Guards Division. Best wishes, GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high wood Posted 11 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Excellent. That must narrow down the RAMC unit to one of three Field Ambulances. Either the 3rd Field Ambulance, the 4th Field Ambulance or the 9th Field Ambulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovetown Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Phew, good guess then ! Not with Major Waring by your side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krithia Posted 13 April , 2010 Share Posted 13 April , 2010 Not with Major Waring by your side... No honest. I have or used to have a similar postcard of an RFA man with the same "G" badge. It took me some time to work it out but the Major did confirm later down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
