What is this badge?
« on: Tuesday 04 October 05 13:21 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have a photo of my great uncle (possibly taken in Italy 1943) His uniform has a badge on the arm, which looks like an oak tree - does anyone know what this is, or which regiment?
I'm afraid I haven't fathomed out how to post the photo, so I hope my description will help!
