kaisersoffensive Posted 7 June , 2007 Share Posted 7 June , 2007 Hello Following on from the last posting. These two items were purchased from the same seller but there is no guarantee that they belonged together. The postcard shows a young man ( "don't give him your name Pike!") who presumably is a medical orderly I suppose belonging to the RAMC.Would the armband shown ( which carries the marking Army Medical Service) possibly belong to him? I have my doubts as the buttons used to fix it are a imitation pearl variety.I am not being sexist here when I suggest that these are more associated ( by me at least) with a nurse. Can any one tell me what the circular arm patch signifies?Is it simply another red cross within a white circular background? Why have the armband and the patch? Suggestions welcome. Many thanks as always, Regards, Bob Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 7 June , 2007 Share Posted 7 June , 2007 Can't help you with the unit identification (apart from the observation that it probably doesn't belong in 'The war in the air' ), but I notice that your man has his pockets stuffed with something bulky — bandages, perhaps.

Blast I should have bought the Princess Mary tin as well !!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
