I Hate Moths Posted July 22 Share #1 Posted July 22 A war service dress blouse. Made by Blem Clothing Co 1944. It came out of the estate of Heath Lamberts, a Canadian living in Pittsburgh Pa. He was an actor on television, movies and theater. The 48th Highlanders jacket that i have also came from his estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you mean by Pathfinder badge, and need to know more. I had always assumed that it was just a RCAF hat badge. Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Posted July 24 Share #4 Posted July 24 The badge on the jacket is exactly like an officer’s cap badge. However when displayed on the tunic like yours it means he was a Pathfinder. Since the RAF bombed at night the Pathfinder Force flew ahead of the bomber stream and dropped flares to mark the target. There were a lot less pathfinders than regular bomber aircrew. Hope this helps. Paul (aka Scarecrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
