Default Dating images

A couple of clues in the images may indicate the date. The RCCS personnel are wearing the wedge style cap, which was withdrawn and replaced by the beret starting in late 43 and through 1944. The CVSM clasp was awarded starting late in 1943. The RCCS personnel also appear to be wearing canvas (printed) formation signs, which were issued starting in 43. (Melton patches were issued starting in 1942, and the economy printed style in 1943.) Putting these together it would be reasonable to suggest the images are from late 43, early 44.
