No. 5 Commando Badges

A few badges for No. 5 Commando. The last picture shows a shoulder title and arm badge for 5 commando worn by a soldier named on the back of both badges, name of Biggs. This man joined the RAF as a rear gunner at the age of 15 and did5 bombing ops before being found out.He at some time joined 5 Commando and when they were stood down he joined the Parachute regiment, John

Some great badges there, thanks John.

Hi

I think the two top titles are repros. The lower attributed one is very nice.

Attached is an original title and arm patch both from my collection.

Cheers,
JB
