Staff officer brassard army corps HQ
Picked this yesterday, a lovely item, but is it WWI or WWII.
The great war forum has a long thread on brassards, armlets etc and has this type as STAFF OFFICER ARMY CORPS HQ Ordnance, whilst BL Davis has it as Officers holding Appointments at HQ ANTI-AIRCRAFT CORPS Ordnance Service.
From this I assume that very similar armbands were worn in both wars for similar functions, but which one is this, WWI or WWII?
Poppers are Newey B’ham LTD. Of note, it has a second set of poppers which I think were to attach it to the sleeve to stop it falling down in wear.
