You can get reproduction ones from various companies like this but they are unoffical badges. There was never an approved badge for the drivers of Bren Carriers.

Rick, The badge is obviously not for me just asking on behalf of a friend.

Well true Adrian, I could go Cromwell or Centaur, or maybe Comet, so that would be a three way..

Gents, Got an original today, lucky find, the position worn on the battledress remains a mystery.
Kevin.

A trade badge is worn on right upper sleeve by the rank and file only.
A skill at arms badge like the cross flags of a signaller or the winged wheel of a Motorcyclist or dispatch rider are worn on the left forearm. Likewise a Machine gunner or Bren Carrier driver is not a trade but a skill at arms. Ron |

Thanks Ron, I was hoping I could wear it below the upper arm insignia were a set if stripes would be worn, I have a 'moth' nip I wanted to cover, will post up some pictures. If not acceptable in this position Ron I will have to follow your advise.

Anyone know where I can buy british badges ? I want shoulder titles and the three red bars which I believe denote junior battalion, I looked at my grandad's kit online and he had them on his shoulders just whilst we are discussing badges
I want my BD kit to be RSF 5th Div. Infact my KD kit will need to be RSF too !

Rich, have you picture if what you are looking for, I have been trawling the net recently and have come across a few good sights selling original titles.
My Fathers Dad was royal Artillery (centre picture in waist coat small oil can in hand). Has anyone a close up of what that cap badge would look like?. Kev.

A badge in this position would designate an instructor and as no official badge exists for a Bren Gun Carrier Driver it would be totally wrong. You could make yourself a staff Sergeant and wear a crown there or perhaps crossed rifles for skill at arms instructor. There are other options.

No Bc badge and all three were carrier drivers.... Same with Ron but in KD kit ![]() And finally KD tunic and trousers (i have this kit) this shot was either Sicily or Italy although could be Bizzerta I believe ![]() The most accurate version of this kit on repro form can be obtained from www.whatpriceglory.com. All others I have seen are hopelessly wrong !

Nice pictures rich, Will you be dressed for W&P?. I found a good site called "world war wonders" what they are selling is reasonable priced. You can pick up original insignia on ebay but tread carefully.
Kev.
