Military Buffs ! Help Please !?
After my Father In-Law passed away recently, we’ve come across a couple of his possessions that I need help with identifying.
First of two uniform patches shows a Red embroidered Eagle on what appears to have been Grey cloth. Also on the same cloth, a Red embroidered two bladed propeller, which is more like a Marine propeller shape rather than Aviation.
We also have a single photograph of him dated 1954, in which he’s wearing a uniform. The main part of which is Green, but he’s wearing a White belt and White puttees. He also has a single Stripe on his Right arm, and is wearing a Beret with a cap badge.
Any help with identifying the patches,uniform,rank,regiment etc would be gratefully received. Thanks.
Nationality – British. The only other info is that he was in the Royal Navy. He’d also taken a vow of secrecy, and served with the SBS.
You can take the pictures and patches to your local Office of Veterans Affairs.They have one in most major cities as well as lots of secondary cities.You can also request a copy of your father-in-law’s service record to give you some help.Since he is now deceased you will have to show proof of relationship,a birth certificate for your wife should work.Since the pic is from 1954 that means Korea most likely.That will help to narrow down your search somewhat.
