WW2 Printed RAVC (Royal Army Veterinary Corps) Depot Formation Sign and Printed Shoulder Title Combination Set

These two items came together so my preference is to keep them together. Removed from uniform. Scarce Red on Grey Printed Shoulder and rare small painted formation sign, folded for wear. Both a little bit grubby as one would expect but a rare combination. A UK based organisation, initially at Aldershot at the outbreak of war, but later moved to Doncaster race course.
