Embroidered Signaller 'S' brevet, with white wing, and white 'S' within a light blue wreath, all on a RAAF blue background. Badge has privately manufactured aluminium backing plate.
Contextual Description
Associated with 421324 Flying Officer Morris Dolf Freudenstein RAAF, who served with 640 Squadron RAF during World War Two. The 'S' brevet was an official issue to overcome the problem of full trade qualification recognition, for Warrant Officers or Officers with Wireless Air Gunner qualifications, after the ommission of the 'sparks' badge. The 'S' brevet overcame the unofficial practice of wearing the 'WAG' brevet.
