    Help Iding patch

    I know the US Navy yeoman patch on the left is from 1943. It came with the unknown patch to its right, HSS? Its been suggested on the US Militaria board, its Britishicon Empire? Any ideas

    By the shape of the letter "S", I think you have the patch upside down, therefore it should read "SSH".

    Unfortunately I have no idea what it is, there were a number of obscure ratings during WW2 and thereafter, it is possible that it is RN, but I vote for USN.

    Something naval, I think:

    Sub-Surface Host?

    OK, I know you think I'm joking! So google this:
