Description
A pair of Polish Celluloid Transport Unit Pennants. Triangular shape with green and red colors. Used by transport units of the 2nd Polish Corps, including the 316 Women’s Transport Company of “Pestki” – Polish Women’s Auxiliary Service.
These badges were made in Italy in the Town of Castelfidardo from July of 1944 just prior to the Battle of Ancona until around 1947. Castelfidardo was the center of accordion production (which used celluloid). However due to war, the demand for musical instruments was low, as soon as the Polish troops arrived at the local workshops began production of Polish insignia from the celluloid, patches and memorabilia such as this one.
