I've got 1 of em Blue/Red Royal Artillery Drop Zone patches you can have mate. Got quite a few insignia type patches, got no use for em but dont want to chuck em out, rather give em away
@DanTheBrit2004 Gotta say mate, for a minute or so after reading your message I was totally confused 😶 BUT I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about Suture kits for stitching up wounds. In Arma when you keep bandaging yourself but keep bleeding, you go see a Medic to get a few stitches and the bleeding stops. Pack contains a surgical suture needle (long hooked thing) and 1.5m of the medical grade thread used. You could use it to sew patches onto uniforms but it's much cheaper and easier using a normal needle and thread tbh. No clue if it was common military practice at the time but in the mid 70s Paras Section Commanders (not all) would teach their bods how to stitch themselves or others up. Meant people were back in the battle quicker than if they had to look for or wait for a medic to appear plus it freed the medic up to do more important stuff. It's easy to learn tbh but a lot of people are squeamish about doing it despite it being a Life Saving skill.🤢 Last time I had to (suture) stitch someone up was a mate who's hand got slashed buy a crazy man with a samurai sword in Easton late 90s. He didn't want to go to hospital so I stitched up what was a defensive wound on his right hand. 12yrs later now living in Essex he posted a pic of my handiwork on Facebook. Nutcase eh? He was from Kingswood too lol

Yeah that would be epic, we don't get issued enough to sew them onto all your kit so it would come in dead handy!
