[QUOTE="Brekelmans, post: 51413, member: 2256"] Hi your grad dad was for sure in the SAS, the right picture shows the maroon beret with sas who dares wins badge and the sas parachutists wings on right arm. If you had three operational jumps behind enemy lines you were permitted to wear SAS wings on left breast , this was a true honour only in SAS. Regular para's always wore on left arm. Given the maroon beret the pics must be taken in 1944/45. On the left pic is a regular para wing. May be he was already para qualifief before he joined the SAS regiment. Cheers, JB [/QUOTE]
