A POCKET FLASH FOR ANGOLAN SPECIAL FORCES; ARMOUR
We are told that these 'Special Forces' came into being between around 1986 and 1990.They were very much on South Africa's side.These Badges were worn as Pocket Flashes.
Michael tells that they were in fact trained by the Barlow's Group from South Africa, who still had interests in Angola at that time.
"Quartermaster's Comment":- Please refer to Mike Evert's Book on Para Wings and Badges to Special Forces......No. 580 A on Page 84.
These badges were in a "SERIES"......This one is for Personnel in their ARMOUR, which is denoted by the Red, White and Blue on the 'Diagonal' to the rear. |
