I got this a few days ago, it looks okay to me, not that I've ever seen one before - but distinctive pattern to the lettering, different sizes, different angles........

very nice!
I thought there were multiple variations on these types of shoulder flash (?) -as some earlier types modified old WW1 uniforms. My wife's granddad, who proudly served in the Clydebank Home Guard for 4 years (and was probably the shortest NCO they had) wore an old WW1 uniform with scottish flags on the shoulders in 1940-41.

Hello,
I ones I have are the same in type and lettering. Could the cloth have shrunk, warped in any way? I also have a couple of county titles which sat below the UHG one. But they are very regular in size, type and spacingComment

Thanks, were the county titles on khaki?
I have a pair of curved "Ulster" titles, white on dark blue (which I posted in another thread in this forum a while ago)
Do you know if the lack of "Royal" indicate insgnia from Eire refering to the 3 (or 9) counties or would they just refer to a regional affiliation in the northern 6 counties?
I may be way off track but I'm wondering about RUC "B" Specials?Comment

Yes, the county titles were on the same material as the UHG title. Ill post a pic once I get a chance. I also have a pic in the Bulletin which shows all the Ulster Home Guard titles with the other home guard units titles - ill get a copy of it posted up too.Originally posted by leigh kitchen View Post
I dont think it is the B specials for the Ulster title - in the 20's, 30's they have brass county titles but i dont think I've ever seen a cloth title. I dont think either it has anything to do with Eire either. it may be associated withthe Ulster Rifles or the ACF from the rifles recruiting area. Will take a wee look and find out for sure.
All the best,Comment
