Royal Australian Armoured Corps - Battledress Titles (1948-1995)


Between 1948 and 1995 the regiments of the RAAC wore battledress uniform on various occasions. It was more commonly worn during the 1950s and 1960s and eventually was phased out of the army in 1996. It was also mostly worn by units based in southern Australian rather than in units based in Brisbane, Townsville or Darwin.
