Interesting link Lake Mist. The Thompson "Tommie" machine gun (American made) on the patches caught me off guard. I thought they would have used a "Stet" (British submachine gun) in the design. A good read of the history and use of the tombstone patch though.
It is STEN instead of stet. (I was editing some old paperwork.) The Thompson was heavy weapon and kicked upward when fired but durable. I forgot the weight difference in the two weapons.
