Personal view or conclusion on this post

Highly recommended! Badges on Battle Dress is more than a book. It is the best researched and well documented Bible on British army cloth formation signs and shoulder titles out there. The author Jon Mills is researcher specialising in military uniforms and insignia's, with more than 10 books under his belt. A former chartered librarian and a very kind and great individual. You simply cannot be serious about collecting WW2 British cloth insignia if these two books are not in your collection. Two thumbs up and Kudos!
