AN ARM FLASH FOR THE SOUTH AFRICAN TECHNICAL SERVICES CORPS
E-mail
We started off by being a fraction mystified by this badge, thinking that it was worn on the 'square' but this is not the case as you can see in the photo. "Quartermaster's Comment":- Carl du Toit finally put me right. The T.S.C. had a badge change in 1960. This item may date back a bit, which is one of the reasons that I did not pick it up and have never seen it before.
