    "I still have not been able to find a Khaki Bagpiper's Badge."

    These British No.2 Dress versions should be pretty close to the WWII battle dress job:

    Thanks for that photo, which shows the pipers' trade badge on the upper right arm only. About the other trade badges, I thought I've seen them on the left lower arm? Was the piper's the only one worn on the upper right arm?

    Anyhow many of the other badges, for example division badges, rank badges, etc seem to be worn on both arms.

    I found this pic... wow loads of badges! Some on right arm only, some on left arm only.

    I wonder if the jacket you posted OC, was from a soldier that served with several different unit assignments. I know that some "Tech" specialist would float around to perform their unique duty. There are several "T" badges on the sleeves.

    My understanding was that that trade badges were worn only on the upper right sleeve but the BD jacket pictured tells an entirely different story. This is probably the bible on the subject:

    It might be best to go right to the source about where the badge should be worn - The British Army.

    There are several ways you could get the information you need. Have a look...
