Thank you Ron. Matchless G3L Malta. Picture taken at Sliema, S/sgt R.E.M.E inspects trials machine. The markings look like Royal Marine Commando insignia. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Lex, good reading for later this evening, thanks for the link. I seem to remember someone telling me Sliema had been a Royal Naval submarine base during the war, so possible link with Royal Marine Commando. The submarines had to submerge further out in the bay in deep water during the daylight hours, as the bombing was so intense. I guess Sliema would have been a prime target
Regards Derick
This one was on ebay a few months ago, as a former Bootneck it really caught my eye. All 3 Cdo Brigade vehicles have this badge, that is R.M units and Army Cdo units such as 29 Cdo R.A and 59 Cdo R.E. I can't remember when the Corps pulled out of Malta but going to school in a Naval town ( Gosport ) quite a few of my friends had Maltese mums !
