Steven Broomfield Posted 18 August , 2019 Share Posted 18 August , 2019 I could be wrong, but I think the sign was used post-war rather more than during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolksapper Posted 21 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 21 August , 2019 Hi Steven that’s my understanding it was worn first as the army of occupation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 21 August , 2019 Share Posted 21 August , 2019 From memory, the sign appears on the 34th Division memorial near Monchy-le-Preux. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was used as a vehicle sign during the conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron 34 Division memorials are at La Boisselle, Mont Noir and at Langemark (divisional Artillery) it's the 37th at Monchy. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
