Derek at Monty's Locker has almost everything and his reproductions are top - notch.

Not all his stock is on the website so call him if you can't find it. He can also give a load of advice on different types of insignia, arm-of-service stripes and all that malarkey

According to Wikipedia the Royal Irish Rifles was renamed Royal Ulster Rifles in 1921. DivPatch.com have shoulder rockers but I've found Monty's stuff to be better quality

EDIT: I'm guessing you'd also need the Pegasus and Airborne patches, no? Monty's is definitely the place for good versions of those patches.-- attachment is not available --

Ah, in that case talk to Scaleyback on here, he seems to be obsessed with RUR for some reason. ;)

Yup, if JJs started stocking RUR stuff he'd implode!

well thats not the end of the world as I am hoping to get australian bds which are the same colour ( or pretty close) to the canadian ones.

Oooh, I wouldn't be too sure mate :D

if mcvickers is right from then thread then it shoudlnt be too bad, he said that the post war aussi ones are the wrong cut but right colour for Canadian?

Yeah, both the Aussi and Canadian BD is more green than generic Brit BD. For my Canadian load-out, I'm using postwar Greek, which is also far more green (maybe a little too green actually :slap: )!
