Recognise WW2 badge?
« on: Friday 14 January 05 19:52 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone recognize this badge on my grandfather's beret?
We thought he was in the army but it looks like RN to me on the badge which would surely indicate Navy??

Actually yes I can see it now,
sorry! Being very slow here!!
 :-[
Just quite surprised we thought he was in the army!!!!!!
Do you know how i would be able to get any service records? I only have his name no idea of his service number, does that mean i wouldn't be able to trace his records?
Thank you for all the help
