What does AFS stand for?

[Gary Cain]

I have these two patches and believe them to be British. If they are what are they for?


Thanks!

I think AFS is the abbreviation for Auxiliary Fire Service.
You also find these letters marked on the front of steel helmets issued to the Service during WW2.

Google Auxiliary Fire Service, pick the Wikepedia site and click on Badges. You'll see that one as probably being post-1948.
