The South Staffordshire Plastic Economy Cap Badge

The South Staffordshire Plastic Economy Cap Badge

 Above is The South Staffordshire Regiment War Time plastic Cap Badge. These badges were introduced during the Second World War when metals became more strategic materials. You can see from the picture below that there should be two blades, one of which has broken off. The South Staffordshire Regiment were involved in glider operations during D-Day. Also operated as part of operation Market Garden in Arhnem.

Reverse, one of the blades is missing
