With the enjoyment of seeing my first blog on Australian Camouflage patterns up and running, I have decided to give a visual account of my Australian Army Unit Patches. There is a plethora of such items and their variants available on the market at the moment and my aim is to show examples I have in my collection. Your advice on issue dates would be gratefully acknowledged. (Some images have been 'sterilised' for security.) Comments and trade offers can be sent to stevod63@hotmail.com.

MEAO CIS Install Team
Here is an interesting, early hand made patch from one of the first units into Iraq. Their job was to set up the vital signals networks required for those units about to follow. From what I have heard, the Rat symbolises some of the attributes required by staff to get into places others would not normally have to go to set up the comms. And the logo "No Comms No Bombs" is their declaration of how important they were to the whole deployment.
